The RPM 427 Ford FE type block is much stronger than the original cast iron Ford block. They have been internally redesigned with siamese cylinders, the deck is .75 inch thick, the bottom end is extremely rigid with redesigned billit steel main caps and special ARP bolts and studs. Aluminum is heat treated to T356. The cast iron block brinnells at over 225.
