Yep - that was the start of my 10-year experiment with European cars. I think it was the best one and it sort of went downhill from there.

Jebus005, par for the course around here, a lot of questions on how it was built but not one answering your question. Seems a '66 427 SO in reasonably good shape can go for $6,500 to $10,500. I would value yours toward the high end of that range as it seems to be in pretty good shape. That motor discussed here: 427 Side Oiler, good price?

Looks like a great engine, so don't get me wrong...

Seems to me that what it really is and how it is built is important to anyone putting a value on one.

For comparison, show me an NOS 427/425 complete with NASCAR etc and compare it to a 427 re-purposed short block with unknown origin and 428 parts on it. Big difference in my mind, at least.
I'm sure someone will correct me.
