1963 327 360hp Fuel Injected Engine

Yes, I bought one! A couple months ago when Matt P. saw a 1963 340 hp 327 for sale on EBay he said, "It's like seeing a Unicorn, or a miracle" making sure I knew it was a very rare find. Well Matt ol' buddy, this ones in my garage and it's a FUELIE! (I know, I can't believe it either). I purchased the engine from Shaw City Engines, specialists in unique and vintage motors. I'll post details of the rebuild shortly. This is Alan, the owner of Shaw City Engines in Fresno, CA. Alan and his father have owned this business for ever. They only deal in unique and vintage engines. The Fuelie came out of his fathers 1963 split window when he decided to run it with a big block, The fuelie sat in their warehouse for the last 40 plus years. It was rebuilt within the last 3 months.
Although not shown in the pictures, the purchase included the original "vacuum cleaner" air cleaner. I'll post those pictures soon.
Every piece of linkage, hose, nut and bolt is included. Everything is period correct and is dated 3 months prior to our Corvettes build date which is February 1st, 1963. It's a perfect match.
A sea of vintage and unique engine blocks. There is an additional 16,000 sq. ft. warehouse filled with engines waiting to be torn down.
Need a period correct head? I am sure Alan has it. I'll post more details on the engine soon. Dennis S., I hope you approve. I think our car will enjoy this motor!
