When you decide on a price, and if you decide to sell, send me a PM, I would be interested in buying it. Thanks.

Can you tell me the correct pronunciation of your user name? It may help ascertain the seriousness of responses to your question.

Great piece.
Actually, the pistons seem to be in the standard position with the use of LeMans Rods.

C7 AE-A merely tells you the block was originally intended for a '67 or later Ford product. More critical would be the three character code (number, letter, number) between what appear to be two slotted screw heads that will tell you the date it was built.

Default July 1963

That would be a center oiler if its indeed a 427. Of course that would be easy to tell from the four bolt main.

If it's a 1963 block, wouldn't it be a C3 block, not C7?
