This is in a 1 acre storage yard I have listed for sale in Phoenix. I just got done taking down casting numbers and it's all 1967. It's supposed to be a Hollman - Moody built with a bigger marine cam. Who knows if that's true. The 83 year old owner knows what it is....
I believe I have it sold pending further tear down inspection.
Intake is C7AE-9425-A....can't find a "-A" online...what is that?
Heads are C6AE-F
Carbs are C5AF-9510-80...rear is List 3300 dated 751....front carb list is 3301 dated 752. Autolite tags are intact and mint on both carbs.
Ford DP distributor.
Cross-bolted block with screw-in freeze plugs.
What's the core value on this? |
I had a simuliar experience in the late 80's. A chevy performance guy came to me one day and said he had an old 429 engine that a buddy had pulled out of an old pulpwood truck because it was breaking parts.
I went over to look at it and to my surprise it was medium riser 427. Crossbolted mains. Steel Crank, Cap Screw Rods, Screw in Freeze Plugs. Standard Bore. Never drilled for a hydraulic lifter cam.
I just about freaked. I told him what it had and he was totally dis-interested. It was a Ford. He said he wanted 250 bucks for it.
I gave it to him.
