| I would rather be a 427 hugger, than a tree hugger |

Looks like I'm going to be spending some quality time hugging some 427's.
I am embarking on a journey tomorrow to pick up two 427 marine engines taken from a large yacht on the east coast when the guy decided he wanted diesel.
The engines have heat exchangers and closed cooling, so antifreeze is the only thing that has come in contact with the internal cylinder walls. I do most all of my own work, when I am able to, so I will remember your comment about contacting the car clubs in the future. Good tip for the FE boating guys.
I plan to go over each engine in the garage, flip em and check the bearings, etc., and then put em back in a boat here in Nashville. I don't think they will need much, as the guy said they were rebuilt around 200 hours prior to him getting bitten by the diesel bug.
Of course, you never know what you are buying until later, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
I will be posting photos and will no doubt, be calling for help for myself, later when I get the load back here in Tennessee.
Regards, P
