427 center oiler question
There is a 427 block on e-bay it says it is a 69 block. The auction number is 4533369214. Here is my question.... there is a picture in the auction that shows the back of the block - I can see the side oiler bosses in the lower left that are not drilled... so I know it is not a side oiler. However, in the same picture, you can see the rear of the block up at the cam plug.... and there is not a hole there for a center oiler pressure relief plunger. Anyway, I've never seen a 427 block that did not have a pressure relief plunger in one of those 2 places, and this block clearly does not have one. Any ideas? I thought it might be a 390 or 406 block that someone added cross bolted caps to (some early 390 blocks had the bosses in the block but did not come with cross bolts installed, same with some 406 blocks) but the date code is definately 69 which rules that out.
