Title: Ebay aluminum 427 block
Post by: Fordman on May 25, 2023, 06:48:17 PM

Anyone else see the 427 aluminum block on Ebay for 2k shop art/ non usable. It says it was cast years ago, I dont recognize the casting Mark's. Opinions?

reads like it was cast in Mexico. I wonder if it could be repaired?

I would take him at his word that it's not ever going to be a running engine.  It probably has no heat treat either.  Never heard of the brand or foundry.  Two thousand buck for garage art?  My price point is more in line with a used piston.

I just found it more than surprising that someone very obviously went through the entire process of bringing another 427FE block to the market YEARS AGO and absolutely not one person here knew anything about it. Normally we get a teaser from somone who knows someone and let's the cat out of the bag at least a year in advance so we can all drool about it. This block!???, never even heard a whisper, did any usable blocks get produced?. Who knows??... Nobody here apparently,  Lol!!
