Tough finding the right 427 FE, buyer beware sums it up pretty good. The .040 over block looks like a good price at the CURRENT bid price (less than 3000). But that .040 over bore is worrisome at best, regardless of what the guy "says", .040 is really out there for a 427. Plus the pistons shown indicate .030. So whats up with that? I'm a little fuzzy on wether the engine does or doesn't come with the NASCAR crank/rods etc.
The last one offered sounds a little hjgh for a totally bare block with cement filling half the cooling ports. Must have been a drag racer in it's day.
No matter WHAT 427 FE I was to buy I would serioulsy consider shipping it to Gessford and have it totally checked out. Figure shipping and machine work above and beyond the cost of the block or short block as the case may be.
Kind of fun "shopping" though!
