UPDATE: With the info gained here I went back. No main bearing side bolt so its not a 427 SO. I pulled an inmpression of the code under the #1 cylinder and it is either C6ME or C8ME both of which show up a number of engines. Assuming the guy has his time frame right it could be a 66-70 428, but if not, that code could be for any number of engines. It has 40 hours on it and the tach redline is set at 4800. The heads are cast C8?E which is a 1968 date code. They also have a casting of N0808 in the same place as the C8?E. The manifold is an Offenhauser dual plane with Carter carbs.

Bottom line is he wants $5700 for the boat and I haven't had any good response from boat guys for the Jenkins V Drive of Nicson exhaust and front drive unit. If the motor is worth that to anyone LMK and I will pursue it further and see if he will lower the price.
