Actually to correct my other post, the 427 SO's were first introduced for 1965. The block # per Steve Christ's book "How to rebuild your big block ford" is a topoiler model (had that exact engine in my first cobra).

It IS a 427 to be sure, but it sounds like it might not be an SO. For anyone this would be a fantastic motor except for someone who was driving around a track at high rpm all day long.....
