Up for sale is a rare 1963 Ford \"Q Code\" 427 Engine. It is a Top Oiler.This was a true barn find that sat for many years in a rural Pennsylvania barn, not far from the famous Maple Grove Raceway. The story behind this is that it was purchased by a racer who wanted to use it as a replacement engine after he blew up his 1968 Cobra Jet 428 sometime around 1970. He never got around to putting it in the Mustang, which was sold in 1973 (sorry, I tried to get info on the car, but it\'s long gone). The engine sat on a stand in the barn for over 40 years until the racer passed away and his estate put it up for sale. After I purchased the engine, I took it to a machine shop to get it checked, cleaned and ready for sale.I\'ll give you the whole rundown so you know the story before purchasing.The Block (C3AE 6015-AB) - Block was magnafluxed and is in great condition.
