421 Block - Sevice Replacement?
4 Attachment(s)
A friend just bought a 1964 421 block, standard bore,. Faint code on the front. He was wondering if it’s an SR block. Either way, it’s a cool score. Pics below:

Real nice!
Dare I ask how much he payed for it? |
He’s keeping that private for now…
|
Service Replacement wouldn't have an eun on it
What's the engine code for it? :confused: |
He says it isn’t legible
|
Just note the ALL service replacement blocks came with rings and fitted Pistons .
|
Good to know- assembled?
|
IMO a freshly shot peened used block. Nice find though.
|
Yes, the rings where on the pistons and the pistons where in the bore.
|
The front 2 four bolt caps are missing the outer bolts.
|
I never realized that the 64 motors did not use a full length windage tray and still had the bell housing reinforcement ribs from the 425 trophy motors.

Maybe you missed this thread on 1964 389 and 421 blocks: https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...d.php?t=772995 And my 1964 421 HO build, both threads show the windage tray setup used on 1964 and earlier engines: https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...d.php?t=771741 |
It’s been a loooong time, but I had a 389 425 T block for a while and just forgot about the windage tray deal.
