According to my books, it's definitely a C/O (C5AE-A) with press-in freeze plugs vs screw-in (not sure if that was standard). The crank as a C4AE-H is a steel cross drilled crank. I would do a lot of checking and research first.

Thanks bud, as I know nothing about Ford part numbers.

For now, it's that one vs a new block. The BBM is very nice. I read a post that Barry chimed into and he really likes it so far.

I'll have to look up the two others, I don't recall the prices.

A friend of mine Dave, has a aluminum 482, and he said buy the iron and save the difference of $1,200 for other parts. Only good thing , is he can say,...it's aluminum. And that's it. lol Actually, that could help a lot.

Iron block- $3,600
Alum. block- $4,800
Combo- $4,950

Buy a new block or new build from a good builder. A new block with all machining is likely going to be the same cost or less than a vintage 427 and you are taking a risk with the seller and the product on used iron.

Little to risk with Brent or other top builders. He will quote a price and you will get what you expect.

It looks like you are trying to save pennys at the risk of dollars.

Yup. Totally agree with Grubby on this. Do it right and do it once. Those lumps are no fun to pull out of these cars.
