Title: BARN FIND!!!!
Post by: gasman826 on 2018-05-23 17:16
1st pic...picked this up today

2nd pic...When I saw what was hanging over this guy's head, I was so excited I could barely swallow.  But I did get the side oiler( a '66 with matching heads, LeMans rods, forged pistons, Tunnel Port style air gap 2-4 intake), Lakewood bell, Mickey Thompson valve covers, FE header flanges, plus a 390 block and C8 car heads.

Nice score! 427's center oilers are becoming tuff to come by, never mind side oilers. I still have two in the shop, saving them for something, who knows what.
Did he have a Cammer , or just the valve cover?
I went and looked at one back in '98 and for a little over $9K and almost pulled the trigger on it, but couldn't bring myself to part with the money. I had a few 427's at the time and figured I'd never do anything with it....what a fool... bawl bawl bawl
