I agree.
I can email anyone with our writings and photo's of the 427 center oiler. I just spoke with him on the phone. His name is Curtis Desaulos, AKA, Racer X.
He has a stock 428 that is newly built, but I want more HP & TQ than what that engine is built for.
Although I'm interested in his 427, it's a center oiler not a side oiler. He bought it from a guy that was freshing it up, but he passed away, so Curtis bought it and some Shelby parts for his Kirkham. He'll include the heads, valvetrain and a cam selection. He's going to email me with photo's of the heads and other parts. He does not have a intake.
It was balanced before (see the rods pic) then after he bought it, he wanted to check it all out.
He believes that with what he has and get a intake, it should be around 500 HP.
I'll see if I can post all of his pics here.

Looks like it has had a rod failure sometime.
Crank and block still useable?

He thought at one time, that it may have been a small part breakage, but where the damage is it should not be a problem. It did not do any damage to the cylinders. Maybe grind it smooth ?
Hoping to get Brent to chime in.

I don't see anything wrong with it. When you hone the cylinders, it will smooth out the bore. I always deburr the cylinder skirts anyway, so I don't see why that block would pose a problem.

Wonderful news bud.
Do you think that since the rotating assembly was balanced and cylinders market, that the rods are fine or should at least, checked for balance again ?
What max RPM can these Ford rods be used safely ?
He has the heads and valve train. He will sell all of it to me for $3,000.
Good deal for an 427 center oiler ?
Only problem is, I would expect the engine to produce 400 to 450 HP/TQ, less than I really want.
(I may have located another NOS side oiler and will speak with him today)
