Marine 427 SO???
I posted this on the "All Cobra" area and thought I might get some different viewers and/or responses here.
I have read a few things here and there from different thread regarding marine 427s. I have my eye on one or two and would like to know what could potentially go wrong using this block (assuming it was a closed system w/o salt water exposure). I have also read about how dual powered boats have both the engines turning in opposite directions. Sorry for the ignorance, but which direction should I be looking for (as I'm standing in front of the engine)? And finally has anyone actually used one of these block and/or made the necessary corrections to the cam and crank on the reverse engine? I would much rather not waste my time taking it completely apart in the bottom of boat only to find out it really isn't going to work. What should I be expecting to pay for a 427 SO block worthy of rebuilding??? I think I can get two that are in running condition for $1000 a piece... Anyway, opinions would be appreciated. Thanks
Dan
