427 Marine engines
By Royce Peterson - 02/02/2002 9:10:06 AM; IP 205.188.195.165
David,
Like you say, most of the 427 marine engines appear to be center oilers. I have only run into engines cast as center oilers but would not be surprised to see any number of casting variations since the marine / agricultural / industrial applications did not have to meet engineering standards for production, nor did they have to match the shop manual and parts catalogue. None the less, these engines are perfectly suited to making the same horsepower as a side oiler and being quite reliable.

I still don't get kit cars with vintage performance parts. They end up costing as much as a good "R" code 63 - 64 Galaxie would but are not worth as much completed.

The V8 motorcycle is a really weird idea. It won't handle or accelerate any better than a Kawasaki Ninja for example and will cost several multiples of a Harley 'Glide to construct. If it falls over you need a forklift to pick it up. What's the point?
