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:
