First, what does a new "427" block cost? I do not know. Second, don't even consider plunking down $3500 for the "buy it now" one on Ebay. As the other post said, all of the stuff except the block is basic low performance 352/390 stuff. Here are the benefits, with a Marine 427, you get the big bore 4.23 crossbolt block that will take any big valve 427 heads. No other FE block will take big valve heads without modification. Also, marine 427's can still be found that are in good enough condition to stay standard bore, a big $ savings with 427's. Performance wise, the sideoiler does NOTHING for performance. If yo want a genuine crossbolt 427 that you could put med riser, or TP heads on then the marine will probably be your best buy. You can find good units for $1500 or less. Do not, Repeat DO not get carried away and buy a "Complete" marine engine for $3500. By the time you get through with it you will have too much money in it.
Good luck |
