Or.. I see you are in Lakeport.. I am about to sell the 428 in my car right now.. We can pull your engine out, and put my 428 in your car in trade for the 427.. It might sound nuts but I am looking for a 427 to build. That yours is a smoker is no big deal.

It's got a basic 335 hp (more like 375) rebuilt 1968 short block, 1968 428 GT heads (not rebuilt but less than 20K) It has an aluminum Cobra "T" pan, and windage tray that I was going to take off and sell, but you can have those too..

I get 70psi of oil pressure at start up.. 45-55 running around.. I would keep the manifold and carbs, valve covers and surge tank, but it sounds like you have those anyway. The clutch is almost new, it was changed when the lower end was rebuilt.. It and the flywheel were balanced when the lower end was rebuilt.. The pilot bearing is new, etc.. It would drop right in

It is running, in the car now come see it if you are interested. Take a drive..

That said I would still build the 427.. But you can have this motor tomarrow if you want it..
