I was told I will be getting the entire build list where all parts and the build are documented.
This all happened very fast. I called on a Friday afternoon asking about their 427 FE aluminum engines, we got to talking and the owner said, "Oh, BTW. We just finished building a 427 FE with a NOS iron block." He started telling me about the engine and I said I think that is my engine. Now, the issue was how do I bring this up to the wife, especially since I purchased 10 months ago a pristine 1989 Mercedes 560 SL. I brought this up on Monday morning and she said it sounded like that is my engine. Bought it that morning and, after the fact, am finding out the specifics.
