CAN-AM BLOCK S.K.-42157 RX-402

   Made in the U.S.A.

This is the Ford Sk-42157 Can-Am block from the 1968 Tunnel Port Can-Am Engine project #RX-402. It is from the original tooling and uses the original fixtures for the Crank & Cam Bore locations. This project is not some enthusiast pipe dream or a converted Chrysler from the West coast with a poor oil system and does not even look like a F.E. . This is the real thing. The Cylinders sleeves are made from centrifugally cast ductile iron (in house). Main Caps are made from ductile iron also. All fasteners are from Chrome Moly Steel. Cast here in the U.S.A. in the Dove Fairlane Engine Foundry from Prime A-356 Aluminum Alloy Ingot. NO REMELT!!!!

  This is the FORD 427 aluminum block. Not a converted CHRYSLER or a well intentioned effort by a F.E. fan without a MFG. background. This is the original. Machined to the original FORD blueprints on state of the art American Equipment by Americans. The castings are made in the DOVE FAIRLANE ENGINE FOUNDRY from certified PRIME 356 ALUMINUM. The CAM & MAIN BORES are aligned bored all the way through using the original fixture to insure accurate location and alignment. Other M.F.G.s' try to bore there blocks 1/2 way from both ends to cut labor cost. This does not work well and creates a nightmare of alignment-location problems. Racers report great main bearing life & performance From this block.
