Complete 1963 427 Side oilier.
I bought a 1973 Campbell boat this year, to my suprise under the engine cover, a complete 1963 427 Side oilier. Runs strong, anyone intrested I can send pics.
|
how much you asking for it?
|
What are the #'s on the block? As far as I know, there weren't sideoilers until 1964.
As well, one thing worth mentioning is that often times marine 427's were not drilled as a sideoiler, although they had the screw in freeze plugs and bulge which would indicate it is. One other thing might be the rotation of the motor....I think some are reverse rotation? |
1963 Side oilier
I have a book: MAX Performance Ford V8's with all the numbers in it. It says the 427 side oilier was made 1963 / High Performance #C3AE-AB on block. I know the numbers on heads C3AE low riser. I'ts not a marine engine for sure. These guys who bought these boats 30 years ago raced raced them on weekends. The boat is at a indoor RV storage. I will pick it up and see if I can get a good look at the engine #s. Send your email address I'll send a couple of picture I took a few days ago. If I would not have spent $7k building my 408W, I would have a need for this engine. This motor belongs in a Cobra not a boat. I'll replace it with a big block crate motor.
I belive this is the real deal guys. :eek: Roy Pollard Etiwanda, CA roypollard@charter.net |

Actually to correct my other post, the 427 SO's were first introduced for 1965. The block # per Steve Christ's book "How to rebuild your big block ford" is a topoiler model (had that exact engine in my first cobra).
It IS a 427 to be sure, but it sounds like it might not be an SO. For anyone this would be a fantastic motor except for someone who was driving around a track at high rpm all day long..... |
Is possible to know the asking price?
|
I would really like to see some pictures. Do you happen to know how many hours are on it (if it has a Hobb's meter)? What type of intake? Did it have fresh water cooling? Jacketed exhaust or headers?
Thanks. |
any more info,pictures?
