[@RonaldLewis-py6yt]

Cool Find. Good luck on your build!!😊😊

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

You got a gem there

[@antilaw9911]

Re-use head gaskets? Just brilliant!

[@deadrat1361]

No your F'n brilliant! You might want to re-watch. I clearly state I'm reusing the INTAKE gaskets, @ 8:31.

[@Jerry-yb7po]

​@@deadrat1361nothing wrong with that...don't let these stupid know it all Corvette clowns upset you!

[@johnsheetz6639]

Ignore those haters, that is a very good find. Some people are just douchebags.

[@stoneyswolf]

Good find

[@charleswilson8602]

All 427 390 hp came cast crank sure would like to see part number on crank because I changed my factory cast crank to nos steel crank 30 years ago

[@deadrat1361]

Oh stop, NO they did not. Do your homework before posting.

[@VORTECPRO]

You got very lucky the day you found that 390 HP virgin 427....................

[@jamey4242]

I like the wix oil filters.

[@BigBlockCaprice]

Great find! Facebook always has the gems nowadays. Craigslist, not so much; majority are just fake ads.

[@deadrat1361]

Thanks! I agree CL has tons of scammers....

[@johneisel4902]

Great find !

[@kurtheggelke8352]

Great video. Haters will hate. Jealousy. Excellent big block. Looks untouched. You have a new sub.

[@jeffrobodine1850]

That's more than 390 horsepower man I hate to bust your bubble 💯💯👍👍😎

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

Aluminum Qjet intake! They came both ways but I've yet to see an Aluminum one in an Impala. Not saying they didn't but seen both in Corvette.

[@rooster68able]

If your selling that engine should not have a problem finding a buyer for the original cars it came outa

[@frankzalar5755]

What happened

[@will7its]

Nice motor. Is the intake aluminum?

[@metaxa715]

looks like it is

[@deadrat1361]

Yes!

[@brandonsilvay4822]

I got two of those engines

[@randyweir3064]

You want to sell

[@amospgarcia9152]

Needs a 60s truck for it.

[@terryhalligan9344]

215 heads not 251

[@gerryw.629]

He’s going to use old head gaskets???? how cheap can you get

[@deadrat1361]

You are right, I am cheap! But... You might want to re-watch. I clearly state I'm reusing the INTAKE gaskets, @ 8:31

[@davidbaumgardner8374]

The S.O.B. is running and sounding good to me so then there's that

[@randyweir3064]

You going to sell that 427

[@brianbarsness9828]

You have a plan for the 427?

[@deadrat1361]

Not yet?

[@misterhipster9509]

Glad you're happy, two bolt mains and cast crank. Yawn.

[@deadrat1361]

Very happy!!! 2 bolt yes. But it does have a steel crank. Yawn all you want. F'n tool

[@thud9797]

Dumb comment Mr Hipster, do you yawn at all the Stock Eliminators running in the 9's with a 2-bolt block?

[@misterhipster9509]

@@thud9797 Stock eliminator is gay as two boyz, well you know. Now Top Sportsman, that's another issue. I'm old, former NHRA divisional sponsor and I must admit, the new factory stock is worth watching, unlike eliminators conducted in the dark after the crowd goes home.

[@lollipop84858]

​@@misterhipster9509 how does this engine or any other engine for that matter, need more than 2 bolt mains at this power level and rev range...?

[@juansaladzar]

What are you talking about never been apart? It’s apart now I can see the video brah 🤔

[@deadrat1361]

Good point! 🤣

[@lollipop84858]

I think he means it had never been apart before he got it.
