426 FE?
Hey yall im not totally familiar w/ FE motors, but a buddy of mine called the other day trying to put some numbers, since hes a bow tie finatic, in the 2 ton they have used for the past 20 years hauling rock. he cracked the hood to pull the numbers and on the valve cover it said 426? and so did the valve cover displacement tag what the heck in a 2ton of all things would a 426 be doing i have seen 428's but is this some industial heavy duty beast? where did this outcast come from, its an FE motor. could these be a mistake or did for make a power house 426?

Its in a ford and ive seen the motor before its got the FE heads and giant intake i just never dusted off the cove and looked at the stickers thought it to be a 428 maybe hes looking at em wrong and its a 428 with smudge marks on the 8 to look like a 6 i just figured id bounce it off some who are more familiar with the FE motors

A 2 ton truck wouldn't have come with a FE anyway. If it has the plug configuration like this \\// it would have come with a FT. :-)
You can't depend on them bowtie boys for nuthin, no brains to start with.

There was never a 426 FT made. No if ands or buts about it. It is either mislabeled or misread or a different series motor, probably not ford.

426 FE?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 04-Dec-01 AT 01:57 AM (EST)]LOL just about died must have been nuts to listen to a bowtie guy 
I dont know what kind of motor it is must be a 428 mis read ive seen the heads at a glance and i know that they are of an FE design i just never paid attention past that, ill have to drive out there one of these days and find out.
If it is a Hemi you can bet your butt id have been snatching it up in a hurry, I got a set of Big Block hemi heads and a small block hemi for my jeep in my garage, amazing engines, but thats off the subject.
Thanks Guys his comment just really stumped me so i figured instead of running out to the ranch id just bounce it off yall
