427 rotating assembly value
I believe these are nos parts/pieces.
Pistons are 3906648---I think this is the 1969 L88 piston?
Standard size, not 30 or such over.
The pins are secured with keeper rings.
The rods have 7/16" bolts, green paint, and the "teat" near the top.
The crank is 7115, std., std.
Value of these items?
Thanks,
George

1960, from the pictures, which is tough to tell, seems they do have some carbon on pistons and some dark and light spots on rings, which to me says they did see some use... nevertheless seems they are pretty clean and have heavy duty dimple rods. Ebay prices on the rods are anywhere from $125 to $350 and more...
I do believe they are L88...but something has me thinking LS6..for the right person, I would think they complete could be worth $400 - $500, tough to tell condition, until a machinist inspected them. Along with the other parts, my dad and I have dealt a lot with pistons and engine parts, my dad also has built motors for guys over the years, I could be wrong
I am thinking that a new set, even sitting around, should be more of a true aluminum color like this..I bet if they are indeed never run, new...$1000 would not be a crazy price

I would think there is not a lot of market for standard size.. how many blocks out there are still standard size.. and of the ones that are still standard size, how many don't need at least a .010 over bore.

my dad and I have sold a few,,,396 steel cranks that are standard sold for $250, had 454 sold around same, maybe a bit more for a 427? say 350? also would need to know if cut ever, there would likely be some stampings on one of the throws...the prices I put are what I consider on the high side.....never know with right person, but who knows, maybe sell it all for $700 - $800.....ask a grand, this economy is tough and as joe said, tough sell on standard bore, ideal for someone wanting to build a clone-esque type car that scored a clean standard bore 454 block
