Yes I thought so $229 I didn't think anyone would spot it from this forum wrong again  :o and just up the road for pick up cool .....138 Ci with a 68cc chamber comp ratio should be under 8to1 just right for a little boost and a 7,500 rev range .......FC427......

Woops, sorry Mark.

I did consider this situation before I posted the link but thought with two hours to go and only one bidder @ 99 cents didn't think there wasn't much risk. Seems I was wrong..............

Glad to see its going to a good home.

I don't rember what pants he wears but he had great parts.

I got a complete FE FC front floor sill to sill still hang up in the shed somewhere from the bloke at Granville, the names escape me, but the father still does the swaps & the son used to re build great carbies.
