Brian:
Be sure to let people in the hot rodding world know that you have two 427 Fords that can be saved. Nostalgia drag racing is becoming a big thing, and it would be a shame to see two 427s go to the scrap pile.

There have been a lot of great motors like the 427 pulled out due to minor ancillary stuff going wrong, that happens to any motor. People seem to get spooked just because the valves need adjustment or there may be a little dirt in the carb. Some of them even spring for a complete repowering. The need for regular maintenance is something all motors need, even the new ones you may spend $50,000 on.
There was a widow who was conned into a repower job after her husband passed away, and she spent a ton of money, and the yard "disposed of her husbands beloved 427 motors for her". I'll bet her husband is waiting for the mechanic to show up now!
The 427 marine motor belongs right where it is, in your boat. It is a real shame to see these beautiful marine motors pulled out only to be gutted, fitted with parts from Summit Racing, thrashed in some plastic wannabe kit car.
For marine parts, you may have to ask twice, and never bother asking at an auto parts store. Most of those guys don't even know Ford made a 427, and they wouldn't know a solid lifter if they saw one.
Check with Robert or Dan at the following links. They should be able to get you what you need.

There is also a ton of info on the marine 427 here, including photos of 427 intake and circulating pumps (which are directional specific, by the way, specific for port and starboard)
