New 425
Picked up a 66 425. Guy I bought it from said he pulled it from a "67 toronado" the engine has B heads. On the head it has N7274S. Could someone please explain what the NS stand for if it does? Also I thought the toronado engines were all painted blue?

Bad news is that it isn't a Toro motor (yes, those were painted pale blue).
Good news is that the "N" indicates that it is a 1966 425 . The "S" indicates that it is a high compression 4bbl motor, either the L75 375 HP Starfire motor or the identical L77 Police Apprehender motor.

Thank you! I forfeited it did but thank you for the reminder. Does Lunati custom grind cams? Besides new lifters, cam, timing and gaskets, and couple more aftermarket parts I would like to keep it at factory compression and around 375-400 hp and 475-500 lb tq. Anything else you can think of to keep around there or will it be hard to keep it around there?

This is one of those might as well while I have it apart situations. Where does one stop.... Do you know the condition of the internals, bearings, pistons, rings, valves rockers? Have you heard it run? These are things to consider when changing old parts for new. Not sure who sells the 45 degree cams but they are out there.
