So, can I surmise that as a suggestion to go the 408 route? If so, then that would mean that the guys selling 4.170" stroke cranks are still having issues. I was maybe hoping that had been resolved, but unless I hear otherwise, I'll not be gambling my hard earned $$ just to be able to say "yeah, its a 427". Tempting as the idea is, my disposable income isn't as disposable as it once was !

In other news, my 4 bolt main caps arrived. In a roundabout way, these were gifted to me (now that I think about it, more like a trade), whatever. Anyway, as a 25 year veteran of the machining trade, I'm impressed by the workmanship these parts show. Ground stock, all CNC machined, properly deburred, then oxide coated. They even included a set of outer bolts and washers. Certainly better than stock.

Still looking for oil pan suggestions. Anyone

Crank failure info would be greatly appreciated, as would info on how to post pictures.
