425 Fe?

The first thing to consider is that it may be a typo.
The 427 is actually a 425. But anybody with a 427 would call it a 427.
There is a common stroker option using the 427 block. Bore it to 4.25 and put in a 428 crank, you get 452. Possible typo.
Who knows. Maybe he made his own combo.

it also could have been bored to 400 SBC 4.125 bore then used with a 428 crank. who knows, maybe it was 452 FE which would have been the 427 bored to 4.25 with a 428 crank which is a fairly common configuration, and a stocked piston most of the time.
