Default 427/435 Engine

Guys, I don't have a C2 (wish I did) and this isn't mine. Don't know a thing about it except what I read in the ad. But it's not the sort of thing I usually see on flea-bay and thought some of you might be interested in knowing about it.

Matching number 427/435 Engine for sale.

Hope this helps someone with their restoration. If so, please shoot me a quick PM. I'd love to know I gave someone a hand.

looks like a '66 425hp motor with a '67 435 intake and vin stamp.I have seen cars restamped with the wrong year motor in them before.I bet this was one of those situations.

Well phooey! I thought it might help one of you guys. Obviously I need to stay on the C5 forum where I kinda know what I'm talking about.

Not at all...it's an interesting post...it's the job (high paying, I might add) of the C2 guys to keep sellers honest.
