Thread: Ford 427 side oiler question

Tweet

Here are the pictures of the engine. Tell me what you guys think. He is asking $12K, is it worth it. it is a standard bore 4.23 427 side oiler. here are the casting numbers. Heads C70E 6090K, Intake C70E 9425-A, Top of piston SK-37015MOD, bottom side of piston C8AX 6110A, Block by the oil filter area the date is hard to tell but it looks like 6A13, The back of the block has 66-427, The crank is C4AEB, The rods C6AE-E they also have 39 over B3, The carbs tag has series C3AE Type CA Date B, on the back of the horn has 314 C3AE-9510-C List 2652-1. The block has no other casting marks other than the date and the 66-427 on the back. The block on the side looks like a rough casting or maybe a weld, its hard to say there is nothing on the inside though it is only in the outside of the block I need to take a freeze plug out to determine for sure though. What rods are in this are they lemans or what? The #8 piston has had something hit it. the hole around the spark plug in the combustion chamber has a little area from this as well. Take a look at the pics. Is it worth $12 K or not if not what is the current value.i'll post some more pics
Thanks
