Jay, one thing for everyone to note - Dennis K, who supplied that blueprint you have referenced, has commented on the FE Facebook page, that the FE block deck water passage shape info ( short triangle for 390, tall triangle for 428, round hole for 427 ) ONLY applies to DIF cast blocks. The later MCC cast blocks ( like the D3TE & D4TE ) will tend to have the "428" style water passage shape, but do not have the 428 cylinder cores since MCC never cast 428 blocks. Just something to know so people don't mistakenly apply that tip to those blocks.
