Chevy 427 c.i. engine, balanced crank, high compression pistons, large valves, etc. less than 5k miles. $2000 (319)472-4690. Haven't called for any further info, if anyone's interested I might be able to look at it and get more info.

Vette(s): 1981, Black/Black, Engine bumped to about 400HP.Ext/int mostly stock.

Two WOWs.

1) If there is nothing wrong with that engine, that's a great price. However, you rarely get the unknowledgeable seller - you usually are getting what you pay for.

2) What a great looking car MattK. I have an '81 that has sentimental value that can't be replaced. However, the '69 convertible has always had the highest droool factor for me of ANY vette ever produced.

Vette(s): 1968 L-71 convertible

There was also a truck 427, nowhere near the same motor. It's a really tall deck configuration.

Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.

AMEN Dave...in 1967 there were 3754 corvettes produced with the 427/435hp. I'd be willing to bet there's over 15,000 out there now. Heck, Proteam has probly sold more than that.

Matt,

Check that phone number again. I tried to call 3 times and a recording came on and said, "i'm sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed". I had the operator try and she got the same message.
