Bob,
If I started a few years earlier you'd be "old enough" to be my son...I'm 64 in June, young buddy. So your "427" love is deep in my heart.
Mine is also a SBC based setup since I didn't want to do what's needed to cram a big block between '32 rails. Sure I've seen it done, but that wasn't what I want for this one. Mine is a Dart iron block/Dart Pro1 heads, Scat forged crank, forged pistons, hyd roller cam not too wild, roller rockers...I'll get details and keep you posted. It just came so I haven't even opened the dyno info but it's north of 550 and torque is higher so my adrenaline is pumped!
Btw, thank you for being so courteous and sharing of your thread and personal excitment. I'm happy we can share such a similar experience right now.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
