Not Ranked
It sounds like you may have found a compilation of parts. If memory serves, the 68 SO had all of the bottom end parts from earlier solid lifter versions. That would include forged steel crank and LeMans rods. It differed on top with CJ heads and intake.
If it had the afore mentioned bottom end pieces, it would be worth the price and then some. Without them, you're basically getting only the block for a real 427 SO, unless the single 4 manifold is a sidewinder.
Could you use it as is? Yes. You just won't get anywhere near the performance or reliability of a true 427SO.
You might see if the guy will sell just the block and go hunt up the rest of the SO parts on your own.
