Being an "Old Fart" that used the 427s during the 60s, I know for a FACT that the 427 blocks were cast with "a high nickel content for added strength". Almost any documentation source for the history and credentials of the 427 will include the above statement.

I have heard far too many "experts" acknowledge that fact to suddenly accept the notion that all those people and authors were wrong all those years.

C'mon Barry...might want to check the facts before you start correcting others. Besides, anyone (including myself) can say anything they want...but what they might say does in no way change the facts.
