Cool 1963 Side oilier

I have a book: MAX Performance Ford V8's with all the numbers in it. It says the 427 side oilier was made 1963 / High Performance #C3AE-AB on block. I know the numbers on heads C3AE low riser. I'ts not a marine engine for sure. These guys who bought these boats 30 years ago raced raced them on weekends. The boat is at a indoor RV storage. I will pick it up and see if I can get a good look at the engine #s. Send your email address I'll send a couple of picture I took a few days ago. If I would not have spent $7k building my 408W, I would have a need for this engine. This motor belongs in a Cobra not a boat. I'll replace it with a big block crate motor.

I belive this is the real deal guys.
