Check out my 427 Side Oiler barn find!

I remember reading about Hollman - Moody building everthing from the Ford parst department. So if it did come from them it could have mixed & matched parts. Like nothing that came in a car from Ford. Remember the big Ford parts sale when they closed down?
I had a guy bring in a engine he swore was a 427 and it turned out to be a 428 w/med riser top end. I know no one had messed with it. I'm pretty sure I was the first to go into it. It had no signs of being worked on. All bearings and gaskets had ford ID and #'s. It had H&M ID tag and V-covers. No telling what the history is..... the carb # diff is the choke plate in one.
