Put it on Ebay with a high reserve and you paying the shipping. Tell your friend you'll sell it to him for ten percent off the highest bid and he, of course, picks it up from you. If the bidding gets too rich for him, and he reneges, you can remove your reserve and then sell it to the highest bidder.

Any pics? Are you sure there is no casting number up above the oil filter adapter on the side of the block?

This is one option, what would you suggest is a high reserve? PS that A26 number is below the oil filter adaptor, not above as I posted. Also I was surprised to see the hand stamping on the crank, the 5 and the last of ground and hand stamped.

According to the reference materials I have at hand, the C80E-N heads were on 428 CJ and SCJ cars, '68-'70.

I say it is a center oiler marine block. The side oiler passage is machined into for the motor mount. I don't think that is typical for the side oilers.

The motor was in a 1969 mustang 428 CJ, I was told the 428 seized or something in 1972 and the owner replaced it with this 427. It would now appear he only replaced a short motor, here are some more photos of the rear oil holes to help determine the motor.
