    427 tall deck motor, Public Service Announcement....

     



    I have no vested interest in this motor or the seller, I just happened to come across it when surfing for parts for a friend in Tennessee. Any of you Tennessee or Kentucky or northern Alabama guys who have an interest in building a tall deck motor should probably go see this one and make an offer....

    Here's a DynoSim build I did over on hotrodders.com that might interest you if you see a tall deck in your future....
    Most builders will tell you that the adapter plates to use a conventional low deck intake such as an Edelbrock Performer RPM will be a pain in the ***. I don't know, as I've never tried to use them. I'm wondering if you couldn't use epoxy to glue them to the intake, bolt the intake on and let the epoxy set up to make a good seal. Maybe Jerry or Pat will weigh in on that.

    there not to big of a deal some intakes can be had in tall deck or you can drill and tap intake head face and use flat head screws to keep spacer plates in place or roll pins abit longer then the spacers that hold both gaskets from slipping if you use roll pins you just need to drill two small holes to center up on the intake deck. done them both ways and just glued the gaskets with hi tack stuck them on plates .were the plates can be fun is when you have to mill and port match them were they can eat up time

    The reason people say they are a pain is because they just got beat by someone using them on a tall deck block!!!!!

    I used the roll pin and used slightly longer ones to align the manifold also---after pinning manifold,gasket,plate,gasket,cylinder head---its easy to match the ports, gasket manifold, etc

    Course you'll need a dist with a sliding collar which they now make but back THEN we had to do it ourselves
