Looking for a nice condition, early 1966 427 side oiler block. Casting months: A thru D (ie: 6 B 10). Please... no damaged, repaired, "overbored" or "overdecked" blocks. Willing to pay top $! Thanks.

Sounds like someone is trying to keep it "real", I like that! Good hunting.

You search for the Golden "Holy Grail" of ford engines, my good man!
God be with you! And good luck on your quest.

P.S. An 'un-molested' 427fe side oiler is a true prize, and will command a high ransom, you must be a man of wealth!

J Galt,
I met a guy at the Reptile Roundup in Nov. who claims to have several original 427's in Fla. I think he was from around the Orlando area.
I remember him giving me a pink (how could I forget) business card with his number, which I have somehow misplaced with all my X-mas mess. I will continue to look for it and pass on the info if I find -
Maybe the fellow will catch this thread and contact you.
Good luck!

J Galt,

I also met the guy at the Reptile Roundup. He owns a custom car shop in the Orlando area. You may try on line yellow pages.

I have one such NOS 427 Side Oiler Block that is sitting at George Anderson's Gessford Machine Shop. You may want to give him a call, and get the particulars. I am not sure about the date codes or any of that. It may very well be a service block.

George did all the machining and it is sitting there. he should be able to talk more intelligently than I can. I know it wasn't cracked, welded. I believe it is standard bore.

Give him a call.

If all else fails give Rick Kirk a call next Monday I know he has at least 30 or 40 Sideoiler blocks at his shop. 918-372-4537. I may be going over to his shop today and I will check if you like.
