You could be right. I thought the 428 started in 1968. Perhaps that was just the Mustang though.

Thanks…

BTW….

A few years ago, I was looking at HO crate engines and one supplier claimed to have 427s available in their Ford inventory.

The GT-500 was a 428. Three slipped out with 427’s to special buyers. Some dealers managed to get 427 crate engines and swap out the 428’s.

Those three are documented so if another VIN number it is not original.
