Suspect I found a 427 being sold as a 390.

By Rick Croom - 06/12/2001 10:03:06 PM; IP 152.163.206.178

I need the help of you experts. I answered an add today for a rebuilt 390 for $300. When I got there there was a freshly rebuilt FE (352 cast in the front of the block) sitting on wood blocks. The engine casting # is C4AE. The lifter galleries looked like they are plugged but not with the typical allen head screws. The heads also sport C4AE 6090F. The intake is an old single plane Aluminum Edelbrock that looks sort of like a Torker 2 down the business end. The lady's husband left her and she wants it out of the garage so she can park her volkswagon inside. Could someone tell me if my hunch is right?
Thanks.
