reading engine castings
I'm trying to find the horsepower of my 427.Its in a 69 vette. the plaque on the dash says 427/435 horse. I had a guy want to buy my car and said it only had a 400 horse engine. Can anyone tell me how to read the engine numbers so I can be for sure? Thanks

But what you really have to do is some good ole fashion research. There are lots of books you can buy (ID & parts interchange for instance) and there's lots of info on the web, you just have to look.Last edited by trashburner; 11-15-2005 at 08:16 PM.
well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
