1963 427 chevy mystery motor

I have picked up an alluminum 4 barrel intake cast#0-232166 found out its an original mystery motor intake.need advice on its value and what to do with it.

 

Gotta find someone who needs one. I would say $1,500-2k for value.

 

2 posts and selling stuff ??????

 

I never said its for sale or i would have posted it forsale im thinking about insuring it

 

How many posts before you can sell something? Highlite in the rule book.

 

I,VE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS FOR MONTHS AND FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO POST. IVE BEEN VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHATS ITS VALUE.IM HOPING I CAN ADD THIS TO MY COLLECTION OF CARS AND Parts AND GIVE MY KIDS SOMETHING ELSE TO FIGHT OVER when im gone.by value I MEAN OF COURSE DOLLARS BUT ALSO THIS HAS TO BE A PEICE NASCAR /GM BIG BLOCK HISTORY(SMOKEY YUNIK NAMED THIS IN AN ARTICLE AS THE BEST CASTING.)THATS PRICELESS

 

Maybe contact the 409 guy in the thread below?

thanks for the input and concerning comments.i've learned more about it today than i have in two months.you know whats funny everything with value is not forsale.but out of everyone i contacted the first thing most people ask is how much you want for it.the more i learn about it its probably out of the price range of what most of you concerned would be willing to pay. the $10.00 i paid for this intake is probably going to be the best $10 i spent in a while

 

lets see a picture of the manifold. the guys at www.chevytalk.com will know.

 

How about posting a pic of it?

 

$10.00 for a $2,000.00 manifold, I hate that guy! I would be the guy selling it for $10.00. Nice score, it does pay to know your parts.

 

GREAT SCORE! WOW!
It sure would be nice to find the rest of the motor ( or just the top end for that matter), for say, 100 bux or so!

Can't really help on value, other than it's obviously worth a lot more than most folks would be willing to spend unless they have a 427 needing one.
And considering what the other Z11 parts go for, i'd have to agree a couple grand if not more.

New at this, I put pictures in the picture album. But I don't know how to post them here.

 

go see lamar walden rite there in hotlanta.

 

Here are pictures.

 

neat!

 

Thanks for posting this, interesting.

 

The Mystery engine was NOT a 409 based engine....It was the forerunner of the 396/427...

Intake will NOT fit anything else....only that engine..had a couple of those intakes...tried to tell some guy from Iowa that they will not fit a 396...he insisted that I was full of shit...(and most likely was correct about that, but I was correct about the intake)......and bought one for a hunnered bucks...........bitched like hell later............this was back in the early 70s...........

museum piece

 

hmmmmmm
look at runners
and boss for dist wire

i see the manifold in the article now ooops

 

TEXOUTSIDER Thanks for the info, do you still have one? If you do according to my feedback you should be able to get a 200% profit at todays value. We must be a lot alike. I get told I'm full of it everyday.

 

thanks for your help

 

years ago i found a GM hei distributor that was built in the mid '60's it was a one year "test". i wonder if it was from this engine? does any one know?

 

... or the ultimate piece of wall art.
