Re: [Amc-list] correction, 287 instead of 327

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

One rebuttal.
A list member a while back stated that either he or his father discovered that in 1963-64 during the introduction of the 287 the blocks were cast without the bore size indicator. Those few blocks without the small bore size indicator were based on 327 blocks and could safely be punched to 327's 4".
  I have no personal knowledge of this, no reason to disbelieve either. It would have been right up Ramblers alley to use a casting with thick walls to verify the viability of the 287 and peoples reception to it before producing the actual thin wall 287 blocks.
  Anyone have a 63 early 64 287 without bore sizeing cast into it???
