[Shotimes] OT - Ford BB

The 427 and 428s were both in the FE block series of engines.  FE stood for
Ford Edsel, BTW.  As were the venerable 390, 352, 406, 360, and a few others.
All were done with various crankshaft and bore combinations.  Although the
427 and 428 were very close in displacement, one had a longer stroke(428
IIRC).  The 428CJ had much revised heads from the original 428.

The 429 actually started out life as a 460 that was used to move those big
hulking Lincolns around, and was designed with low emmissions in mind.  The
429 was introduced as a Ford-Mercury engine, and then gave way to the 460
used everywhere, for the longest time in Ford Trucks.
