Thread: how to find a good used 390/428 block

Glenn,

Thanks for the help. I can't see where you mean on fordfe.com.

Guys,

So I am looking into this 427. The person selling only lives about 20 miles from me. It is only the block with nothing else. Is it not far more expensive to try to rebuild a 427 even just to find a set of heads than my original plan with a 390 and 428 crank. Certainly the 427 was never found in a 1968 Mustang. Just doing some reading tells me that early 427's had problems (top oilers) getting enough oil and that as of 1965 the oil galleries were improved. The bore would seem to indicate that this has already been re-bored once?
