RE: You are right on all counts By David Thayer - 02/05/2002 3:24:20 PM; IP 158.52.254.237 Yes I agree, however, the oil slinging to the right on the big tracks was also an issue. Yes, Danny said the block was a 63, but he also mentioned the "boss" cast on the block and questioned if this could be converted. There is so much confusion as highlighted by a recent 427 on Ebay. The fellow showed a pix of the motor in a bout and listed the engine as a 427 side oiler, as it had side oiler casting numbers. The engine (with a cracked block no less) quickly bid up to $2500. I asked the seller to show a picture of the engines left side above the oil pan. He did post a picture clearly showing the Center oiler/cast as a side oiler. I informed the seller that unfortunately he did NOT have a side oiler in his boat. This guy had a lot of integrity as he posted all of the info on his ad and then withdrew it. The confusion comes when the unknoiwing see those sidle oiler casting numbers and then think that is what they have. Imagine the hurt at thinking you have paid $2-3000 for a 427 side oiler to find out you have a center oiler with 352 heads, cast crank and a cracked block!! David
