Please help me ID a possible 427
I'm talking to a guy via email that has what is supposed to be a 427 for sale at a decent price and before I go look at it I would like to be armed with the info I need to identify it. He sent me a few pics so I'm hoping some of you can help me out. It has 428CJ heads on it, the casting number on them is C8OE-N but the block looks to me like it has cross bolted mains. There are 3 bolts per side on the block skirt, would this be correct? I was thinking only the 427 and 406 had cross bolted mains? The only numbers I see in the pics on the block look like C4AF and I can't make the date out, it looks like D1E or O1E, I'm not sure. Any for sure way to figure out what this thing is short of tearing it down and measuring bore and stroke or looking for an engine size cast inside the water jacket? Thanks in advance.
