Thank's everyone for you interest.
And yes, it is a real crossbolted 1968 427 engine with an casting date code of September '67, and a assembly date stamp of December 1967. The crossbolts can't be seen from the angle of those shots, but I've attached new images of them and the casting number. I have a sizeable deposit on this engine right now, but if the balance never comes I'll relist it.
Chris Craft, and others, used 427's until they were discontinued as service engines in 1974. I have another ex-Chris Craft engine that's a genuine sideoiler engine, 1971 vintage. That one I'm keeping.
I've also attached an image of the 1966 centeroiler that's still for sale, priced at $2500. It should be in the swap meet (for those in Michigan) at the Belleville (Wayne County) Fairground on July 15.
