hi, i found this old 352 with crossbolts in my neighbors garage... now that i have your attention. what was the last year the 427 block was made? also when was the switch from center oiler to side oiler made?
thanks, dan AKA fordmandan

p.s looking for a mid 60's superduty hood scoop of a f550 and up superduty truck.

Dan I think 427s were cast until '76. The version cast and sold then was a hydralic lifter side oiled block, with reinforced cylinders. Sold through the ford parts departments. The last they were sold in a new car was '68, I think. Ford started casting the block for side-oiling in '65 but some were still machined as top oilers. I think any 427 is a good one if you can find one. DF
