A 428 block typically had a little more meat around the bores and could typically take a pretty good overbore, although all of these old production line blocks were subject to potential core shift. I heard it all on Al Gore's internet - it must be true. |
"I heard it all on Al Gore's internet - it must be true" :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Curious what the block casting number is....C5AE-XX or similar. Also as stated above, it would be help to verify a true S/O by seeing a clear pic of the oil gallery on the side of the block and of course the back of the block.
All that said, it would still scare me without a lot of teardown and inspection. |

And who knows? Maybe if you have some Sprint Car parts that Blykins could use you might be able to trade a few things off towards a nice engine build.
Just a thought...:cool: |
Money's important, but the integrity of the builder is paramount. Forget the damn side oiler. Do as we tell you -- most of us get paid a ridiculous amount of money to just give good advice. This one is on the house.:cool:

That's funny buddy ! :LOL: Man, you must be filthy rich by now ! :3DSMILE: Building a 428 is a good option, but I'll see how much money I can come up with, selling the sprint car parts. I'm also going to sell my last 1/4 scale RC sprint car. I wrapped it just like our 360 sprint we raced for years. Hate to but, the Cobra will make me MUCH happier ! |
Allow in to your thinking the fact that the internet engine builder crook fiasco, coupled with your health issues and medications, could be affecting your judgment. You might want to bounce your decisions off of the guys here first before you commit. We're more likely to tell you the truth, rather than what you want to hear.%/

Going .020-.030" over on a side-oiler is generally safe with a sonic test.

How about this one on ebay ?
But, he list's it with a 428 crank, so where's the OEM 427 crank ? Ford 427 Engine Sideoiler NOS | eBay http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/eAsAAO...Wd/s-l1600.jpg |
It's supposedly a NOS block, so he wouldn't have the crank....it was never a complete engine.
Pairing a 427 block with a 428 crank yields 454 cubes. Not a bad deal for a NOS block with a SCJ crank. |
Hi Brent,
What's the difference between the NOS ( nitrous oxide engine),... lol Verses OEM (original equipment manufacturer) ? So, the first owner ordered this set up ? If it was yours, what all would you do with it, machining etc ? If it wouldn't cost me two shipments, I'd send it to you and have you go through it. %/ (if I bought it of course) |
NOS = New Old Stock. It's a brand new OEM piece that didn't sell years ago.
|
Oh of course,..... bud !
Brain fart ! :JEKYLHYDE Thanks for the teaching David. :3DSMILE: |
