I haven't seen it, but for sure that's a high riser intake on there, which means high riser heads.  Good bet its a 427.  Go for it, Royce!

I like it, looks so much lighter and sportier with cut open rear wheel wells
could have been done nicer though

I figured the mixing of styling ques was just a Minnesota aesthetic

What will it go for?
Currently the engine is worth more than the high bid. (5hr to go)

With 40 seconds left I had thoughts of bidding 9 grand but didn't know if Royce had the high bid at the time. I need another project like I need a kick in the jewels.

Should have told you guys I was not in..  I bet the reserve was probably much higher. Sure had some good parts, but to me they do not work together that well.
