1968 "W" 427 (4V) 2-bolt Cougar GT-E??

By P - 06/08/2001 5:50:06 PM; IP 64.3.243.34

Mr. F, your tech info page, which is greatly revered, shows a spec for the 1968 W code engine with the annotation at the bottom of the page that the blocks were cast for 4-bolt but not machined. Please clarify this, as I have heard that the 1968 Cougar 427 hydraulic motor was a two bolt, and this is something that I'm very curious about and want to learn more.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!

P
