Default 69 Corvette 427 engine on E-Bay

I saw this today, and was wondering why there would be no bids on it.

We are considering buying it to put in the 69 Camaro Clone that we bought and listed last week....remember the one that ended up having a 454 instead???

Any thoughts?

Here's the link:

Well, it seems like a NOS L88 for $5K would be alot more bang for the buck in my opinion. Those don't look like a rect. port head(840) by looking at the front of them.

You're right....I just checked the casting number....it's a 454 block.
Another scam.

LM suffix is for a 69-427 390hp corvette which is correct.

That is a correct number for a 427 as well. Here's an excerpt from www.mortec.com

3963512....427.......69......2 or 4 bolt
3963512....454.......70-76...2 or 4 bolt
