Hi there,

anyone got some big block collectors knowledge?

We want to buy a big block machine, but a rare one.

so which one is the rarest?
Want to buy the hard to get stuff.
i got an offer for an 429 cui engine

but what about 499, 426, 427, 440 ?
anything i should focus on?

cheers

Just be aware that it's very popular for guys to think they have 429's when in reality they are 460's.

What are your plans with the engine? A car to go with it or HP?

Its just for our little museum. its just some investment. so we want to make sure we got a good engine with high prices in the future you know

How much do you plan to spend?

If you just want something on display as a novelty, can't go wrong with a 454. You can easily recondition one and get it looking great for cheap.
