Once more, 2013 was the last factory produced 427 Corvette. Please forgive my "big block" misuse.

When I consider spending 50-100 large nowadays I think about a new hvac cab tractor or mini excavator. Fact is, about 500K would set me up right for vehicles and equipment. And with that I could fit a Vette in the mix. |

Thanks for the compliment man! I really was very lucky to have found this one. I purchased it from the widow of the original buyer. It’s all original five star bowtie, NCRS, Bloomington Gold benchmark survivor. I’ve had this car campaigned through the systems. It is a real car, I even have the build sheet

The car market is nuts! Before the pLandemic you could easily buy a nice Ferrari (used) for a little over $100k. No idea what they're going for now. $100k for a Jeep....blows my mind 🤯 |

GM did put a 454 Big Block in a C4, called Big Doggie.. I think they were testing drivetrains. |

If we are talking original equipment on C3s, then yes, the 305s, 327s and 350s were small blocks, and the 427s and 454s were big blocks. It got more complicated as time went on. In 1974, Corvettes were available with a 454 cubic inch big block engine. |

Sold it and got my '05 Sold it and got a '76 Greenwood that sits on my desk. Have had enough of the low slung cars. |

I wonder why, in the mid and late 50s and early 60s, Chevy never offered a 348 or 403 BB in the vettes? |

Yes, he does. "She's real fine my four-oh-nine."
As I recall, those engines were originally truck engines (W block?) although that doesn't mean much. You could order early-mid '60s Chevy cars with them, they also could be ordered with dual quads I think. My high school buddy's older brother bought a new stripped '68 Nova, built a 409 with quads from the block up and dropped it in, beefing up everything else. It was a total sleeper except for the exhaust note and big tires in the back. |
