some comments....


66-427 C6AE-H with screw in freeze plugs.
(1) Likely a C5...but with a Ford...who knows for sure.
It has forged aluminum flat top pistons,
(2) with that head the compression ratio will be to high.
427 nut and bolt rods,
(3) Stock Ford FE Rod
cast crank,
(4) Cast crank could be a 390 or anything...nothing to write home about.
solid lifter cam ( which is all that you can use in a 427 FE)
(5) I'd like to see the date code on the block as 66-427 doesn't mean alot.
, C8AE-H heads
(6) no big deal
, aluminum 4 barrel intake manifold
(7) unknow quality
, Cobra Lemans aluminum valve covers,
(8) Ok
aluminum Cobra T-pan
(9) not in a Cobra please...cast aluminum...
, mallory dual point distributor.
(10) OK..but not the best choice for most engines
This motor is ready to go and would be perfect for a Kit Cobra,
(11) Hmmm?
Galaxie, Mustang or any other project that you might want a classic Ford FE 427 for

But the block with the right date code might be worth it...
