L-88 ???? Help !
Hi All,hope Im in the right section here...if not please re direct me !
I have a 427 motor and have been told all sorts of different things about it
I have checked the engine number and casting numbers on different sites and it seems im either missing a number or letter or its something rare ?
Eng Number is TO131LD
casting number is 3963512
which has led me to believe its a 69-71 Corvette 427.
Someone also said its an L-88 and someone else offered me big dollars for it !
It unfortunately doesn't have the Alloy heads which doesn't matter to me.
the engine is currently in a 39 Chevy Hot Rod and has been since 1978.
Also many many years ago the owner of the car in which this motor belongs was looking for it..
I believe he lived in Tasmania ??
anyway I hope to find out more about this motor if you can help..
Many thanks for your time and answers
