Is this engine worth fooling with?

I have access to a '67 Camaro shell, it would make a nice marriage together. Maybe I haven't been around much like you guys but I can't say I ever saw a block stamped " High Performance."

ID PASS ON IT at a price of $600 simply because if you shop carefully a 454 could be found for similar money

Not up to Your High Standards You demand Richard.
PASS On the engine.

Tall deck 427 engines complete can be found still for $100-400.
I bought mine for $100.

Its a Buyers market right now except ultra rare Chevy, Pontiac, Mopar Musclecar, and High End Drag Race parts...must bite the Bullet and Pay $$$$ &$.

Brian, I never see engines that cheap around here. Even when they are fog machines and have spun bearings! I could jump on stuff of that price within a day's drive for sure!

Nostalgia Drag Racing is still going Strong on the East Coast & California - Washington state & Oregon.
Likely a factor in your area.

More Grassroots Racing around me.
