It is a 427 sideoiler , 1968 block, bored out to a 482ci. It has Michigan aluminum heads, .705/700 lift. solid roller valve train, shoebeck solid lifters, windfield billet crank, oliver h beam rods, diamond pistons, cloise double roller timing chain, kanton oil pan. it currently has 48mm webers on it but not sure if I want to sell them with the motor. I am thinking the motor value at least 20k but not sure. |
Things that will factor in on a value:
How far was the block over bored?
Compression ratio?
Quality of the parts used for the rebuild (only that you can document).
Fresh, documented rebuild, or if in the car, how much mileage on the rebuild?
Aluminum heads do not offer anything but typical used market value as most sideoiler buyers want a dated set of heads to go along with the block, so the block and what is inside, and the condition of what is inside of the block will be the deciding factor.
Intake and carbs will depend a lot on the numbers on the carbs. Low numbers equal a larger dollar figure than higher numbers.
I'll leave this up for now and let others extrapolate from here.
