Default Re: WANTED: Corvette 1966 427ci engine or parts

-----Be pretty careful with Cranes.David is OK but there have been times when his representation of parts has been questioned.
-----Dont think Al at Chicago Corvette will be able to help you,but you never know.Ask for Bob Sindelar when you call there as he will be the most helpful.
-----As far as the 961s go,I didnt know that.I should have stated that I have never seen a 961 in a 1966 Corvette,and I have looked at,literally,hundreds.And over the years I never really looked at any low horsepower passenger cars casting numbers.
-----Possibly,Peter could get a cheap 961 block for his purposes(racing)and just massage the 1 into a 2,and make it into a 4 bolt main.That way a good 962 block that might be needed for a correct high-point restoration wouldnt get used up and Peter wouldnt use up alot of money on a bare block he just as easily could spend putting more horsepower into it.I doubt the number checkers in Europe would check as carefully as NCRS or B.G.Hope this helps..........Bill S


-----By the way,almost forgot about the heads.Any of the above mentioned would be good choices for your search for heads as well!!!!!!!!
