I purchased this engine from a guy who bought it new, from a local So Cal Ford dealership in the mid 1970's to put it in a show car. After this show car was built, the owner put less than 100 miles on the car. He then pulled this engine out of the show car and put it in storage after selling the car. His plans were to build another car and put this engine in it. This never happened. I bought this engine in the mid 1990's and stored it until I sent it to Rob McQuarie to get it built. When I got my engine back my plans for what car to put it has changed.

What you are looking at is a brand new 427 Sideoiler short block.

Over 30 days since I first offered my 482.
Very well could change my mind soon...
We have emailed and spoke a bunch.
Cannot wait forever for a answer.
Especially after adding up what it would cost to build another.
Not to mention how long it would take to round up all the parts.
If I sold the 482 I was going to purchase
Another more powerful Ford engine. That deal
Will not be around much longer.

Guys, lets not discuss sales of parts on this forum.  You can communicate via PMs, or move to the classifieds.  Thanks, Jay

With all due respect, one of the first things I asked you was if you were in a hurry to sell, and you replied no.
We spoke on the phone, email's and PM's. I had fun talking about engines, cars etc,  Like I mentioned several times my friend, if I can come up with the funds, I fully intend to purchase yours. Out of a handful of engines to choose from, yours is at #1, not only because it is closer to what I want & need (except no bling) lol,....but also because of your great personality. If I get along with any seller (even though we haven't met in person) means alot !

Remember bud, the last time I bought a engine sight unseen, I lost 10k, and more important, he stole my,... "spirit for life". So trusting you, is a very good feeling! 

Like I said, if you have a possible buyer please let me know, if I can not come up with all the funds, feel free to sell it. I would not disrespect you !
That's not me.

I have decided that only a FE will go between my crotch, nothing else !

Hey everyone, exciting news !!! (for me and my wife anyway) lol

Nine years after some bad health and my engine builder steeling my Genesis 427 side oiler block, all parts and camcorder, I'm back being a FE gearhead. The last few months I've researched what I want to do with a small budget. I found a new 428FE built by Larry Dove ! It has all their manufactured parts, except the block. One thing I will change is a bigger cam. You would not belive the cost !

Their ad-

"Big block ford 428 ci - $6500"

Completely built up 428 cubic inch engine. Can be put on a engine stand and test ran to show that it works, had dove manufacturing high performance heads, intake, and rocker arms. This motor was built for power and should make about 500 horsepower easily. Call. End quote.
I also got a hell of and deal with a BORLA/TWM 8 stack fuel injection system with the FAST computer. Includes everything but the fuel lines. Is's also polished ! The only thing I will change is to paint the TB's my body color, blue.

Like a young man would say, "I'm STOKED" !!! lol..........(I'm 55)
I'm Rejoiced, my spirit for life is,... BACK !

I see (and smell) plenty of burned rubber in your future..
Good luck

[cjshaker]

Congrats! I hope it turns out that everything is good with the engine. Sounds like some nice parts were used on that build.

Dove just recently went completely out of business. Both of them were too old to continue and the business was not able to be salvaged due to too much debt. Kind of a bummer considering how long they've been supporting the FE.

[fekbmax]

 i suspect more and more of there left overs will pop up on the Dove ebay .

Lol,...funny sh** !

Ya, it's sad that after so many years of hard work, skill and knowledge for the FE world, that they've gone under.
Hope their all proud of themselves !

But, he says he's ready to retire, so that's great.

[427HISS]

I still.....don't understand why I bought it so low ?
One very similar is on ebay for &14,500, and Larry is selling it.

Sent the check today, and I'm stoked with it and the stack injection !
I've missed driving the Cobra, smelling, and hearing her.   
It's gonna be a long,....winter, but at least I can take my time vs get her going quickly just to drive.
