Reply to "351C NASCAR block for sale on ebay"

1/4 mile hardly makes a 2.5 mile LeMans straitaway, sorry AC. Drag racers need not apply. The 427 has severe problems on the #7 and #8 bearings due to reciprocating weight. The oil molacules break down under the load and metal to metal occurs. It's only a matter of time.
There are all sorts of "the ultimate secrets" run on the FE's. Oil lines directly to the #7-8 oil port on side oilers and more, not to mention aluminum rods for drag racing.
I will say that I have seen theoretically identical engines from the identical engine builder go 50/50. One survives and one blows. Funny though, the ones that survive seem go for years.
Let's put it this way AC will your engine builder guaranty the engine over 7000? It doesn't matter really anymore. I no longer build them.
All those 427 blocks with sleeves in 7 & 8 were made necessary by rod bearing failure on 7 & 8 when the rod let go due to oiling issues.
DT the 6200 quote was from Phil Remington, not me.
Thanks for calling me an idiot AC, I don't appreciate. I know what I know.
Have a nice life.
