I have to say that if i built a 427 and it would not spin to 6,000 that I would be highly disappointed and be forced to look at my selection of parts. I would also be highly disappointed if it blew up at around 6,000 rpm. Anyway, i think it is just more appealing to purchase a newer block simply due to the availability of original side oilers that are not trashed or highly modified. Everything i have seen come up on ebay or craigslist in the last 5 months, excluding the 427 NOS block that KC listed, has been garbage with at least two sleeves, and the sellers still want mega bucks for them. NO thanks!
