TRUE VINTAGE ORIGINAL 1968-69 FORD 427 "SERVICE MARINE" MOTOR!

THIS IS ONE OF A PAIR OF MATCHING MOTORS I ACQUIRED SOME YEARS BACK (CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR THE MATE)!

THE STORY I GOT WITH THESE MOTORS WAS THAT THEY WERE IN TANDEM IN A LARGE OCEAN GOING BOAT, WHEN ONE OF THEM QUIT, AND THEY BROUGHT THE BOAT HOME WITH THE OTHER ONE!

WHEN I PULLED THE NON-RUNNING MOTOR DOWN, I NOTICED THAT IT APPEARED THAT THE SALT WATER IN THE COOLING SYSTEM HAD ATE AWAY PART OF THE ORIGINAL STEEL HEAD GASKET BETWEEN THE WATER JACKET AND THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, AND THEN WHEN THEY SHUT THE MOTOR OFF, COOLING WATER RAN BACK INTO THE CYLINDER!

SO THEN, WHEN THEY TRIED TO START THE MOTOR, THEY GOT A "HYDRAULIC LOCK" THAT SPLIT THE CYLINDER WALL!

LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY BROUGHT THE BOAT HOME ON JUST THE POWER OF THE OTHER MOTOR, AND THEN UPGRADED THE BOAT WITH A PAIR OF NEW "MERCRUISER" 350 CHEVIES!

AS EVIDENCED BY THE STOCK STEEL HEAD GASKETS, AND STANDARD BORE ON THE SHORTBLOCK, I'M GUESSING THAT THESE MOTORS HAVE NEVER BEEN TORN DOWN BEFORE, AND ARE PROBABLY ALL STANDARD DIMENSIONS INSIDE!

I'VE HAD THESE "SERVICE MARINE" MOTORS BEFORE, AND MY EXPERIENCE WITH THEM IS THAT BESIDES THE SALT-WATER BEING IN THE COOLING SYSTEM, THESE MOTORS ARE USUALLY IN VERY NICE SHAPE INSIDE, AS THEY ARE USED MOSTLY IN LOW RPM, AND LOW HORSEPOWER APPLICATIONS!

BUT NO GUARANTEES...SO ASK ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID!

BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE...IS WHAT YOU GET!
