I have a real 1969 'LE' code 427 that I bought as a package deal with a first-gen Camaro. I had planned to swap it into the Camaro but decided to leave the original 327 in that car instead. Complete carb to pan.
This is a 0.030" over 335hp 427, completely rebuilt with zero miles. The short block was built in 1988 at Holbrook in Livonia, MI, and the heads were done at the same time at Booth-Arons in Berkeley (both excellent machine shops). Nothing too radical, just a mild Isky cam and Edelbrock aluminum intake (still has original Quadrajet).
The engine has been sitting in a garage since it was built and I would suggest at least pulling the heads and pan and inspecting it, and replacing the gaskets at the very least. 30 years is a heck of a long time for an engine to sit.
I think $3000 is fair for the whole deal. Pickup only in the Detroit suburbs.
Happy to get date codes, etc for anyone interested.
