Title: Engine pad ID
Post by: Mrbill426 on October 15, 2017, 05:48:10 PM
Can someone help me decipher this engine pad?  I know it is a 440, but what about the "B" and the 12   27?

Engine was assembled Dec 27th 1965....  B makes it a 1966 model year vehicle...

It should be a steel crank 10:1 compression approx 440 with the closed chamber heads , probably 516 casting

Almost looks like a time capsule ... where was that thing hiding all these years before you found it??

In a '66 Imperial Crown.  The 727 is odd in that the output yoke is "bolted" onto the output shaft with a through bolt, like a crank balancer on a crank.  I have never seen that before  :dunno:
Does anyone have any info on a '66 Torqueflite?   Is it "junk"?

:wrenching:

Output / main shaft is different , should be able to use the rest with a different main shaft & possibly tailhousing on it

Thanks!  Saving the combo for another future pipe-dream project I have a "shell" for; probably in a next life to be honest.  :thinking:
