427 Block Question

[jfkheat]

What car would a August 1967 cast 427 IT code block be correct for? What heads should it have come with? What would a standard bore block with no damage be worth?
Thanks, James

Without looking it up I belive that is a Corvette designation for L-88 so an August dated block would be for a 68. Whats the casting #'s 351 or 321? It should be a 4 bolt main also. Could you post the full Tonowanda stamp.
Rich.
It should have 842 aluminum heads.
If there is no vin it would be worth quite a bit to some one with a 68 L-88 Vette with the wrong motor. Also that is what Motion put into some of thier cars, so if anyone has a Phase III 68 anything that would be the correct motor fo it.

It's a 321 4 bolt block. TO822IT stamped on the pad with a 8 19 7 cast date. I haven't seen the block. I don't know if there are any other numbers on the pad. It is on Ebay. The seller gave me a price that he would end the auction for but I'm not sure if it's worth what he wants.

That's for sure a 68 L-88 built motor with an early build worth picking up. How much do they want? and if your not interested may I have a shot at it. Thanks,Rich.
Opps just saw the ebay link thanks anyhow.

Does the pad stamp look ok?

Yes with the "T" floating at the end that is how a lot of them were stamped. I can't make out the broach marks I think the block was glass beaded. (or just a poor picture if you are serious ask him for another shot of the pad.) However the rusted outline of the head gasket is still present so I don't think it was decked.

James, sent you a PM...Rich

The seller backed out on the price he gave me and ended the auction.

Someone else offered him more. If you don't mind, and seeing that he sold it to someone else, what was the price that he had given you?

I would rather not say.
