Import crushing 428 engine

C'mon guys. You're supposed to know more about FE engines. An FE block is an FE block is an FE block when it comes to external dimensions. The 360 truck block will bolt straight into a 67 using all stock Ford components. The 360 was a low rpm peak motor with no hp and decent torque (great for towing trucks), but this doesn't matter if he's boring/stroking it to 428cid anyway. Any FE intake/heads/anything else will bolt right to this block. A little FYI - 428 crank + custom rods + 427 bore/pistons is a 454cid. Have your block sonic checked. If it'll take the huge overbore to a stock 427 size, you could build a sweet, high revving 454cid Ford. FE parts are a little harder to find and more expensive when you do, but a 428 FE will last a helluva lot longer than a 351W stroked to 427cid. 650cfm isn't nearly enough carb for even a stock 428, by the way. Well, I guess that's enough info for now. If you have any questions, just ask.
