Default Rare 65 425hp engine found!

My friend just bought a garage full of old vette parts.
Theres a 65 396 425 hp engine block crank heads oil pan pistons.
Its an IF stamp.I dont have the date yet.
Any one know how many 425 hps were produced?I know its more than the 375 fulie.
Any way it & alot of other 63 -69 parts are being cataloged as we speak,& will be offered on here & ebay soon.
I know he has 3 sets of side pipe covers & 3 electronic distributors from 67 435 hp.
I'll have a list soon & want corvette enthuiests to get first shot at them.
I'll list them in the c3 parts for sale as soon as I get the list.
Whats that motor worth?
Thanks
