Why do these people buy this shiot from people that do not have a clue. The price should be a dead give away. Like Barry said it is pretty easy to make sure you have a true 428 block which came in 2 web and three web. The early 428 had w ebs and the 428CJ and some early blocks had three webs mains. You better know what you are looking for and at when you do FE stuff. Ford did so much different stuff back then. Like Barry has shown a somic check is one quick way to see if the block is a over bored 390. There are a lot truck 360/390 blocks that are three web blocks but not the thicker cylinder needed in a 428 bore size block.
I have even seen a few idiots try to bore a 428 block the standard 427 bore size and cross bolt it. Just check people out on E-Bay, there are good people on there and scam artist. We advertise on there as well but our stuff is a little higher than this stuff but I sure hope better.
I bet Barry had to bust his customers bubble on that nice over bored 390 engine he got. Look at the great work on those heads, I bet that deal would make a bout 250HP. Just kills me what you will see past on to people. I have seen them come and go.

Good luck, Keith Craft
