I've researched all the posts about 427 marine engines but I still have a few questions that perhaps you folks could answer.
I know where there are 2 427 marine engines complete from carb to pan that have been sitting assembled for quite some time. They both came out of the same boat.
My questions are -
How can you tell if they were closed loop cooled as apparently these are the only ones that would not be severely corroded.
What would they be worth in an assembled state since it's impossible to tell if there are any problems inside?
Even if the blocks are toast, are the other parts worth considering? What about the heads?
Any list of identifiers that could decipher what these are?
