Thread: Engine worth

Tweet

I'm trying to figure out how much a 69 427 bbc 335 hp is worth...
Cast numbers on back 3963512. Stamp id number T0115LE.
If I can get some help that would be great..

Welcome to the site. It's good to see you here.

What are you going to do with this motor? Is it for a numbers type of car? Has to be a certain date kind of thing.. ( read that as expensive!)

Or, is it a "tool" or "asset" to achieve some thrill or excitement? ( read that as more economical.)

As far as price.. you'll have to do some digging and see whats available at what price in your area. There's always ebay too.. they can at least give you a range of costs. HTH.

Welcome to CHR!

As mentioned above, if you're looking for a numbers matching restoration this could be worth a lot of money; however, as a builder it's a great block. a 454, 4 bolt bare block with this casting number for sale on ebay for $2500 - 1969 Big Block Chevy L88 427 LS6 454 4 Bolt Main Block 3963512 512 B 1 8 | eBay

As you already know, yours is a 335 horsepower 427 (evidenced by the "LE") that was originally installed in a 1969 vehicle with an automatic transmission. As such it could be worth a lot for someone looking for correct 1969 SS427 engine for a Chevelle or Impala.

Let us know what you've got planned for this engine and we can be more specific in recommendations.
