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

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.
