actually the code 'IP' was used for the 450 HP 427 and 'IK' is the 425 HP 1966 427 engine... which in reality is the same engine...Could be a difference of opinions as to why two codes used on the same engine parts in the same car...It brings to mind L78 396 engines too

IP is L72. The IK code is subject to debate, from what I have read in discussions passed is that the IK code was reserved for the 66 L88 that supposedly never made production. I have yet to see any picures of an IK pad.
