Here is how our two builds of a 427 break down;


Both use Dart SHP Block w/Splayed 4 Bolt Main Caps

Both use Dart Pro 1 Platinum 215cc Angle Plug Aluminum Heads

I use Eagle 4340 4.000" Forged Steel Stroker Crank
You use Scat 4340 Forged crank

I use Eagle 4340 6.000" Forged Steel H-Beam Rods
You use 4340 Forged H-Beam Rods unknown

I use SSRE/Comp Cams Custom Grind Hydraulic Roller Camshaft
You use Howards hydraulic roller cam with Retro-fit roller lifters

I use 2.050"/1.600" Stainless Steel Valves
You use 2.02 stainless intake valves, 1.60 stainless exhaust valves

I use Comp Cams Ultra Pro Magnum Roller Rockers
You use Race Series roller rocker arms

I use Edelbrock "RPM Air Gap" Aluminum Intake
You use Dart™ dual or single plane intake manifold. You'll have to remind me single or dual

I repeat, you did better research and got a better deal IMHO.

Your engine advertised at 550 Horsepower, 565 Torque, at unknown rpm
My engined advertised at 525 hp @ 5600 .. 550 lb/ft @ 4200, and this might be my engine's only saving grace over yours, the revs might be lower. The dyno sheet showed my revs were higher than advertised 526.3 hp @ 5700 and 556.2 lb/ft @ 4400. 100 rpm higher for the hp peak and 200 rpm higher for the torque peak.

Once installed, you will have another gain over mine due to your headers vs my Ram's Horn manifold, but that is OK, I'm 600 lbs lighter.
