You'll pay $3000 for a 427 CO from a boat, of which the only thing yuou can really use are block and maybe crank. A good complete rebuildable 427 SO is going to be $5000 or more. Obviously, you may find a great deal, but you may have to wait, and ultimately may never find a great deal.
If you want to buy a rebuildable engine, get a 390 or 428, and then buy a new iron 427 block, and rebuild the engine using the 427 block, and then sell either the 390 or 428 block. If you want to use original heads, then maybe spring for a rebuildable 428CJ, using those heads. If you want to use new aluminum heads, then get either a 390 or galaxie 428 engine (getting a 428 crank).

The crowd was jumping up and down as he stunned the Chevrolet drivers by easily passing the entire field to finish second behind MacDonald's other team Cobra. The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
