Whats a 68 or 69 Impala 427 motor worth - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Since It's an Impala motor $750 seems on the high side.

Good condition with a good steel crank - maybe
Good condition with a good steel crank and rectangle port heads - It would be a steal

I'm going to assume its has oval port heads since its a 365 hp motor.

The only reason the 427s bring good money is for restos. So you could always luck out and find some one restoring a 427 impala that has to have it. I'd rather stick to 454's. More displacement, cheaper and easier to find.

Thanks guys, I've got a message to him, waiting to hear back. I can find 454's all the time, I just don't see that many 427's very often, the ones I do see are out of big trucks and are tall decks. It was a running motor when he wrecked the truck, I talked to a buddy of mine who knows him pretty well said he remembered when he wrecked the truck, said motor was good. Thanks Randy

Well I bought it, picking it up tomorrow evening. I'm not sure what I'll do with it but I'm sure it will be for sale and if it doesn't sell it can sit in the shop for a project when my son gets older

. Thanks for all your help, Randy

Trust me, you will not have a problem selling a 427. I don't care what it came out of. Regardless, if it's a Camaro, Impala, Corvette, etc engine, it will sell. I can guarantee it. Maybe not on here, but put it on Ebay or some other muscle car sites and it will fly out of your garage.

100% agreed.... i figured find some old IMPALA SS forums like this one and put it up on there..... should sell real easy for that guy looking for a correct engine for his restore..
