I got schooled.
Who schooled me.
You made up this fake bs about it being out of square and have been complaining about how bad that block was for years now.
And it is some how Fords bad machining and you can do better than Ford.
They are all out of square, that's the way they were machined.
You couldn't drill a hole through a 2X4, you would have to farm that out. To Dale is it?
Go ahead school me on your vast knowledge of racing and driving the FE for the last 20 years.
All I've seen is you watching Dale run his dyno with other guys engines. ::)

427 blocks were machined on a manual line with machines with crank handles.
Those guys working crank handles on a production line just aimed for a target.
It was hit and miss.
That's why I believe 427 blocks are the worst machined of all FE blocks.
