The FE block from BBM is a near spot-on reproduction of Ford’s legendary 427 cross-bolted, side-oiler introduced in 1965 that won Le Mans. The difference between then and now is outstanding casting technique and high quality with all the right casting numbers and the “352” where you expect to see it. Study these cast surfaces and you will see the difference between Ford and today’s closer attention to detail. What makes the BBM FE 427 block better are these cross-valley ribs providing extraordinary strength where it is needed the most. Find us a factory 427 with this kind of support. Lifter bores are oil galley fed for hydraulic lifters.
