Hi all. A buddy has this but is not sure the value to sell. I believe its a 427 ford intake. Any input? Thank you

Maybe a SOHC. It's most likely a 429 CJ or Boss. Does it have a casting number on it?

Its an offy intake, so no Ford casting numbers

Definitely looks like a Ford 429 due to the position of the thermostat hole.

Yeah, I could see it's an Offy, but thought it might have their casting number on it somewhere.

429 or 460. 370 too, if you wanna include old Frog truck motors.

Boss 429?
Would need to see it upside down - to see the ports. Boss 429 ports are round:

429/460 are not:

Definitely not a 427. Totally different thermostat location

The only 427 that it could be from is a SOHC, and I don't think this what it is. All 427s except the SOHC have the pushrods going through the intake, and the valve covers also overlap the intake. I believe it has to be from a 385 series big block. 429, 429 CJ or Boss 429, depending on the port shape.
