If it's numbers-matching,it's still worth a lot to the right individual. If not,buy it and use it. What were you wanting to do with it?

----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Mascheck I found out the engine came from a 69 Vette that he has in the 67. It's not an original car, although I would fix the engine! When you hit an oil well and it brings in $100,000 a month you can do what you want to!!(GRIN) Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Karl Groves [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this guy aware that he's throwing away what probably equates to more than 50% of his car's value? I'm no restoration freak, but even I wouldn't throw that engine away. Heck, even if he wants a different engine in the car, he could pack away the 427 in case he later decides to restore or sell the car. And, IMO, throwing away a mechanical item because of an electrical problem makes zero sense Karl Groves Master Certified CIW http://www.karlcore.com Grayscale Content Management System: http://www.grayscalecms.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Dan Mascheck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] It's a stock running 427 from a 1967 Vette. It is complete, but I'm sure he will take the distributor out. He's having some problems with the engine, that I believe are electrical in nature. He plans on putting in a larger crate motor! It would not be my choice for a nice 67 Stingray, but I don't have his money! I think I can get the engine cheap, but want to be fair. I need to do some checking to see what the HP is on the engine. I would imagine around 390 and doubt it's the 430HP, but that's a big guess! Dan Mascheck2007
