427 Ci Big Block Chevy Engine on 2040-parts.com
Romulus, Michigan, United States
|
This engine is a diamond in the rough but can complete your numbers matching Corvette, COPO Camaro, or full size Chevrolet rebuild. Block casting number 3963512. Heads date stamp March 1969. Engine assembly code: T0314LC. Water pump and starter recently replaced.
I took it to a reputable engine shop to have it checked out. Compression 180, 185, 185, 185, 185, 180,175, 180. Oil pressure 50psi at start up, no leaks. Their opinion is it just needs some TLC to bring horsepower and torque back to specifications.
Hotrodders, this -512 block is highly sought after because it's among the thickest blocks around, allowing it to be be over-bored, if desired.
Available for local pickup (metro-Detroit area).

BMW Vision ConnectedDrive (2011) first pictures
Thu, 10 Feb 2011This gorgeous two-seat roadster is the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive, set to be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva motor show. Unlike some of BMW’s other Vision-tagged concept cars, this unfortunately isn’t a thinly disguised production car, but a study designed to highlight the company’s driver assistance systems. However, although BMW has released no details on the engine or layout under the sexy skin, thankfully the Vision ConnectedDrive’s stunning styling (including the shark nose, wrap-around rear lights and layered body) will find its way onto future production BMWs. For a start sensors in the headlamps and rear lights monitor the traffic situation and the environment around the car, while instead of wing mirrors there are antennas that receive navigation data and transmit other information. Inside the driver has a 3D head-up display, and the system can project information about the chosen sat-nav route so it appears at the exact point of a possible turn-off. The 3D system also displays information in the foreground or background of the display depending on its relevance.
Jean Bugatti's final project realized 73 years after his death
Fri, 10 Aug 2012Legendary designer Jean Buggati's final unfinished project has finally been realized by the Mullin Automotive Museum, 73 years after his death. The Southern Californian Museum is devoted to the preservation of French art and automobiles from the Art Deco era, and has announced that the 1939 Bugatti Type 64 Coupe Chassis #64002 project is nearing completion. The museum – alongside Stewart Reed Design of Pasadena and Automobile Metal Shaping Company of Michigan – has added the swooping coupé body to the original chassis based on sketches left unfinished by Bugatti at the time of his death in 1939.
