Unfortunately not. The past owner blew the motor and replaced with a 327 crate engine 40 years ago. I will be looking for a correct replacement for the restoration and someone to restore it properly.

Good useable 67 427 are not cheap but it would go to a good home in that car.

If it was a 390HP, that is a great street/driver engine. I have had a hi horse big block, and much prefer the 390HP. BTW my Sunfire 67 Coupe was stored from 1971 until 2019 which can cause problems in itself. If given a choice I would have preferred a green or blue 67, but the Sunfire has really grown on me, and I really like it. You have a great car there, welcome to the Sunfire Club.
