What are your thoughts on this engine? Any of you Chicago guys know the seller? It looks like this is going to be the engine going in my Beaumont.

Looks like you already bought it----I don't know if I'm reading the description right--He sold you a complete engine --with all parts to put it together except for the carb and manifold is that correct----------??

There are no pistons but pretty much everything else is there. Since I'm not trying to build a date correct car. the date codes or fact that the block has been decked doesn't bother me. I just wanted a real 427 and not a 454 block with 427 parts like the engine I blew up.

No, the engine looks good from where I'm sitting---When you mic and check clearences etc. you'll know for sure, ---guy has good feedback---Just curious--Did he agree to stand by the parts upon your inspection----------------The engine should look right at home in your car----with some inner attitude

I'm in Pennsylvania working now so I'm thinking about picking it up in Illinois or meeting him somewhere in between. If I don't like what I see he won't get paid.
