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?

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.
