Yes it is a 427,,68 side oiler,seems to be a good one,,never blown or sleeved,steel crank turned 20,,,new dove high rise heads and dual quad intake,I was estatic when I was able to get the air cleaners on with out a taller hood,,I have the receipt where the seller spent 16k on the engine last fall,,500 miles ago,the car was pretty nice,,but not perfect,,i am not building it,,but decided to go ahead and make it as right as possible before I getr used to driving it,,and befor eany one sees it,paint was ok,,but viper red with white stripes,,guages were sw and mis matched,,seat not correct,,I also got two sets of wheels and tires,,compomotive with good goodyear eagles{they are for sale}and torque trust with hoosier comp tires,,I bought a set of trigo knock offs already,,I am doing rangoon red with proper dash,shifter {its a top loader ,,YA!!!}and doing vintage decals and meatballs,detailing under the hood,,quik jacks in lieu of bumpers,and basic detail,,as the seller put it,,the car was built to go fast,no win shows,,that it does well,,so,,I am happy with it,,,for the money anyway,,It was a lucky deal I ran across,,the guy had money and lots of toys,,it was just a business expense to him,,
as far as building your own,,I think there is some satisfaction,,but then again,,I have wanted one for 30 yrs,,and didnt have it because I wanted to do it myself,,so,,maybe I would have enjoyed it more,,if I had just bought it,,refinaced the house or something,,,20 yrs ago,,its all good I think,,enjoy your car,,the way i see it,,it may not be perfect,,nor the best,,but it is paid for,and in my garage,,my cobra,,lol,,,enjoy yours,,
thankis ,,,Tim
