Check out my 427 Side Oiler barn find!

Jeff Lee · 12-31-2009, 01:01 AM

This is a complete 1967 Ford 427 / 425 HP side oiler. It's in a boat built in the mid 1960's. It's like a big fishing boat, not a drag or ski boat. The boat is falling apart due to rot. 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?

Hey Jeff--That would look real good sitting in my Fairlane!!!

It isn't original... ;~)
It's been worked on...
Look at those carbs real close.
It has had Jiffy Kit carb kits installed.
What a find.

quite a few big cruisers used the 427. did a rebuild ( 1968 Chris Craft 30')for a customer 10 years ago and had to have a cracked block repaired simply because everyone knows you can't buy a replacement for less than $3-4K if you can even find one!

and they like to strip out the float bowls too.

406's had cross bolted mains but i don't know about the screw in plugs....

Jeff Lee · 12-31-2009, 09:37 PM

Oh, I see what your talking about on the needle and seat. That's like what NAPA sells. I thought it was a wrong bowl issue.
I like these shoes. Waiting for my old "wafflle stompers" to come back.

I sure hope this isn't a reverse rotation engine!

Only very late 406's as I remember never used in production (not even early 63 406's before Dec 1963 only for NASCAR.

True sweetness .... good for you....good thing someone who knew what it was saw if before the family had it hauled to the scrap yard....

Makes me sick every time I go down there, I got an uncut set of 426 Max Wedge heads there I can tell you Johhny and Jane wouldnt have thrown grandpas junk out if they knew what it was worth....

Did you have to buy the whole boat ?
