I just registered to post this message. This weekend I came across a early 70's SK type boat for sale with what I was told is supposed to be a correct 1966 427 side oiler engine. The seller told me the engine code is C6ME which thru some research here I think may actually be a 428 block. It is supposed to have matching heads and a correctly dated dual plane aluminum manifold with Carter carbs. I looked at it quickly but couldn't hang around to verify numbers etc. The boat has only been ran in fresh water and is currently in good running condition. If anyone is interested email me at
reddogeb@yahoo.com and I will take a closer look. From what I have seen here so far, the price he is asking might justify buying the boat for the engine. I don't have a need for it (I lean towards Chevy myself) but thought someone might. Patrick
