They are, but they are not really 427 side oilers... I don't want to start a wizzing match but there is something really different about the sound of a real 427 that the arrruumminum block and head engines don't have.

I spent $10k for a rebuilt 427 that was .015 over in pieces. I would love to have found a NOS block but they were 5k at that time and they generally need plenty of machine work and prep. I'd go $4500 for a new OEM side oiler with the machining done and ready to assemble.
