Ernie, I'm not an FE expert. That is the way I heard the boss describe it. Maybe I misunderstood. He told me that a 427 FE block of this vintage was cast such that it could be "tapped" for either center or side oiling. This block is a center oiler.

Still sounds like a marine block. Thoses are the only one I know of cast as sideoiler machined as center oiler. :3DSMILE:

427s intended for marine duty were cast as side oilers but to save money Ford never drilled passages , so therefore, they are center oilers. The passages can be drilled to make them side oilers but the process is expensive and impractical.

Again, this looks like a marine block that was pulled from a boat and converted for road use.

The usual question asked during due diligence on such a motor is whether it saw fresh or salt water duty and did it have a closed cooling system.

I'd assume given the $25,000 dollar asking price and the investment in expensive doo-dads that the block is solid.

Still, there's a 428 with Webers posted for sale here for less than half the cost of this motor. You be the judge if this one is worth the freight......
