Default $200 dollars for an FE motor??

joey_hv Are you kidding!! This a great price for any FE block with a 390 cubes or bigger. I would have the block checked for cracks first. It's worth the money Sonic also for wall thickness. As far a look, You can't tell looking at and FE motor, 390,406,410,428, with out pulling a head and checking bore and stroke. I know, I have a 410 that was to be a 428. 427 motors SO have a oil supply galley on the side of the block running the whole length. Side bolts can be added using 427 crossbolt main caps with some machine work. You can put a 428 crank in this motor and have a great torque motor. Good set of heads will give you a good 400HP and 450 ft. of tork. This is what I have in my cobra with a 452 motor and .500" lift hydro cam. Car runs 12.5 and lights up the tires at will. Tell the guy you want to have the motor sent to a machine shop for these checks, If motor is OK you pay, if not split the bill. If a cylinder is cracked a sleeve can be added for a repair. That's your choice or look for another motor. Rick Lake
