NOS, (new old stock).. They'd be considered NOS if they were new and unused. I'd heard on some of the later 427 "service blocks" core shift was a greater problem than the earlier runs, nothing hard to substantiate that though.

BTW... Some of the 427 service blocks (irrigation/pump duty intended) were not "cross-bolted", simply the 2 bolt bottem end with press-in freeze plugs too.
