CJ Valve covers- Low side $100
Trailer $200
F.E. marine hardware $425
V-Drive $400
Tanks- $100
Cav hardware and steering- $200
Prop is probably bronze junk
Engine... who knows...? Might be worth something, might not.
That's how I see it.
Fixed it for you. REAL Ford boat engines start with a 4 followed by some letters. LR, MR, HR, CJ, SCJ, hell even SOHC if you have nothing else.Quote:

i dont need the headache anyway.............working on my project only...im trying to not find this stuff......id really rather see a guy get it and restore it........
i will do some parts here and there but there on craigslist ...........but will let you know BOB if the guy calls me
Cool, I plan on flipping it on 2MM. The guy thinks the stuff is near priceless.Quote:

I know enough to know a $500 aluminum FE intake and a $500 Vdrive box when I see it...Quote:

THats what I'm saying, the parts are all intact , just clean her up for now and throw a truck 390 in her and PUT PUT around... SHould be worth twice the price of admission...Quote:

It's a unique piece, something different than the thousands of bowtie boats... Something different than the many B and C and H hulls out there...
Only if it isn't an Edelbrock or Offy. Then its a 50.00 manifold.Quote:

And seriously, with that 390 (in the Lavey) block casting # it could very well go 4.130 bore... :)
Tisk tisk tisk. You have "Ford" bore sizes on the brain. Nobody bores a FE to 4.130, or a 427 .020 or .030 over any more.
You bore 427s .017 and .027 over, and you bore 390s to 4.125 for the one in a bazillion that can handle it. Try to keep up old guy.
4.4 or 4.5 on a 427 block??? Sounds like we had better call L.A. Sleeve... :)Quote:
