[Tracker1]

April, have you made any attempt to find the original engine? If, as your eBay auction says, you have good information that the original 427 was still with the car just 7 years ago I don't quite understand why you wouldn't have tracked it down by now. I (and many others on this site) have tracked down numbers-matching engines that have been separated from their cars for 30-40years. Seven years is a joke...can't be more than three phone calls between you and that engine.
