I have a #942 427 block in my race car right now. The casting date on the bottom is rough but looks like December of 65. It is a fresh .060 over,and I just had 1 sleeve put in it because of a few nicks in one cylinder. It was zero decked with a regular decking machine,and has some numbers that I stamped on the pad. It has had one small repair to the outer starter bolt,but it is almost un noticeable. It is a 4 bolt and has #962 caps. Being fairly abused with a sleeve and such,is it still worth trying to sell to a collector and finding a regular 454 block to use,or should I just put the engine back together? I see these blocks selling for big money,but with a sleeve,circular broach marks and a repair down by the starter,I wonder if it is worth any signifigant amount.
