Thread: 427 Build what do I need

Tweet

My old prostock engine was a 427 tall deck but it wasn't in a production car---just for what it can do--stock steel 454 crank, 454 stock ch pistons, +.400 rods, alum c exhaust port heads, tunnel ram---ran 8.002/169.99----think it would have got in 7s but finished bigger motoer over that winter before we went racing the next year-- You would need spacers for intake manifold or special now available intake and a distributor with sliding base clamp-------

And I would not try to put one in an oem chassis---too tall, too wide(especially with modern day raised exhaust port heads

and its less than 1/2 taller at the valley--overall ht can be adjusted by the intake manifold--low, medium,hi riser

with custom length rods you can use stock ch pistons which saves enough money to buy the rods-----
