427 crate motor
By John M. Sutton - 01/07/2002 8:07:09 AM; IP 198.26.132.102
You may remember I needed to replace a bad 390 in my son's '76 F-150 back in October, just to get it to GA. I bought a boneyard motor, which turned out to be a Ford 427 4v crate motor set up (most likely) as a 390. It turned out to be an EXCELLENT motor, very clean on the inside, with Ford .10 over bearings.
I need to sell the truck, and would like to get a good value for the motor/truck, but I do not want to misrepresent it. Is it worth anything as a specialty motor? (I remember several posts here about a '66 427 bare block on ebay, calling it a swindle in progress. I prefer to be as candid and honest as possible.)
What are your suggestions for me?
Thanks for your help and understanding!
