Default Re: Found..66 IP coded 4 bolt 427..

A few years back when I hung the rods out of the engine in my race car,I took a spare block to the machine shop to get it ready.It is a 1965 dated 427,but is only a 2 bolt.After the machine shop guy was done he said to me I should have sold it and I could have bought a new Dart block with the money I would have gotten.I paid $250 for it from another machine shop that thought it was a 396 because it had the canister style filter.It had the corner of the block where the starter bolted on broken off about to the top of where the knurl on the bolt ended,he Ni Rod welded it and it looks like new.Maybe I will sell it rather then freshen it.I have a 10/10 6223 crank in it,and a set of brand new dimple rods on the shelf.I shouldbe able to make a good package out of it for somebody.
