Don't you just love it when the so called experts screw up. like a picture of a car with the wrong year listed. Then there is the wrong spec. listed I just saw a 67 ford 427 showing a 3,278 stroke I've even got a 1964-70 Motors manual showing a 390 with a 3.98 stroke
Proofreading is something that has been part of the cut for profit for many years. I say this as a retired Editor.
In some of the first 56 Ford shop manuals they listed the torque for the 312 mains as 150 lbs. Lots of blocks got cracked main bearing webs because of that.

I think you have given us the wrong info........ From what I can find, the Ford 427 engine has a stroke length of 3.785", and so does the 390.
As a consummate know-it-all, I give out a lot of info...odds are it's a 50/50 crap shoot whether it's right or not.
No FE engines had a 3.278" stroke. Shortest was 3.30" in the 332. The 352 had a 3.5" stroke. (Corrected, thanks to @sunbeam ) The 3.98" stroke was only in the 410 (Mercury engine) and the 428. The 390, 406 and 427 all had a 3.78" stroke.
Half the errors on adds are because the guy did the add on his phone and the phone decided what it wanted to say and he didn't catch it. I've got to agree that proof reading seems to be a lost art.
I don’t really understand what’s going on here so I will complain about something I think is similar… trying to find parts for mid 50’s olds 324 on the auction site, they are very adamant that you “check the fit” with their dropdown menu. Then, you get 100’s of water pumps out of mid 2000’s Saturns and such that are “Guaranteed to fit your 1955 Oldsmobile”
I was looking on something from Facebook about a truck with a 305 and people were commenting that a 350 has a better crankshaft, that it has a longer stroke and everything else. Nobody corrected anyone.
So if we were in Europe my girlfriend would have a comma instead of a period? Cool, maybe she won’t be so bitchy.

I really do not know what to think about this, at this given current processing of thoughts and given specification data pertaining to this H. A. M. B. post.
