    Then build it if it's what you want..... Other options might offer better performance for the same $$$$ spent....but that doesn't mean you can't build what you want...

    im looking for a good streetable engine with some power. 450 hp and 500lbs tq. i know a 427 can get that done. and i know a 454 can get it done also. but its not what i want. just looking for some build specs on 427s.

    To make 450 hp, I would start with a 9.5:1 compression ratio and cam it for a redline of 5500-6000 rpm. Throw on a set of decent flowing heads and you've got yourself an every day street performer that will run on whatever gas you throw at it.

    well you ask i am telling you. what to do if you do not not like it tuff if you want a street driving engine any thing can be made to a street engine on ci i guess i have been buliding big blocks for over 20 years and had done well over 100+ of them in helping or building them so build what you want but there is not one thing i can think of that makes a 427 big block better that a454 so do what you want. and i will not wast any more time with you. YOU are making this complicated buy useing a 454 block and a 396 crank and using a old 427 pistons that will cost more than a 454? if you have this stuff then use it. but i thinking you do not? so at this point why not find a 454 rebuild it and be done with it. i never said a502?? find were i said this? the block you want to use to build this 427 is a 454 block less you have $$ to buy a real 427 block so?? why would you go down on the cid? and then throw out the 454 crank and buy a 366to427 crank ?and as far as me i am done . i try to help you you ask and did not like what i told you. there is many that would like my help and time . so good day .and what i build ? well with a 4.250 crank about 20+ of them and a 4 inch crank to many to count . 376 crank 5 or so i have runned 396 to 630+ big blocks the street for over 20 years so i told you that the 454-468 or the 489-496 would be the best for the money this is not complicated
