Question FE 427 Casting numbers decoding

Good evening all

I have a friend who has a 427 and I have been trying to find a source for decoding all the casting numbers.
Anyone know of a good book or place to look?

He said its the kind of 427 (FE) that was in Cobras so I thought I would look hear but my search skills are poor.

The block has the Allen looking Welsh plugs, the cross bolts (???) that go through the block into the main caps and he also pointed out to me the larger odd size nuts on the conn rods. I figured they must be a Swedish metric!

Some cating numbers we have spotted are
on the block, 9F26
Rods C7AE-B
Heads C8AEH

This is also one of two motors from a boat. The other motor is not exactly like this motor and its the other motor that runs in reverse so he really was not to interested in that one.
Does a boat motor make a difference in casting numbers?

Thanks!
