Yes,they where 4- bolt mains.
I would run a Victor intake.
The dist. is different.
MSD and others make a dist. that has a slip collar on that adjusts up and down.
Some after-market manifolds will let you run the std. sbc/bbc dist.

Here is the Edelbrock super victor that works with a 4500 Dominator . The first on is the #2927 For the standard deck . The next one is the #2916 for the tall deck 427 . COOL

i have used the vic intake on many builds

well i should of said, how much does it genrally cost to get that much out of a big block, cant be that expensive can it?

the last 496 i built was hyd roller cam long block all new parts with cast steel crank hyper pistons long block was around 3700. with out block or head casting using BHJ tru-deck tq plate hone and re work 781 heads with 219/188 valves

My friend had a 1968 Lemans all steel . With a 496 and Brodix heads with a Big flat tappet solid lifter cam . And a Victor intake with a Dominator carb . He ran a TH400 with a 4200 stall and a 456 gear . With a small spray kit that car ran high 9s . One time it pulled the front end up so high that when it came down it smashed up the oil pan real bad .

i had a 468 soild roller cam 13to1 in my gto that would send the front end in the air on the street with a set of iron heads i did some work to

if i cant build a 500 horse and a equal or more amount of torque for under 3500 im wasting my time :d

For $3500 Bucks ! I can do that with a Pontiac 455 .

how about using a 400 ?

id like to build a 427 although prices ahve gone up, cant you take a 396 crank in a 454? ithought that made 427? man i need to do some homework on this big stuff, so used to tiny mouses

That may take some doing . How about a Pontiac 428 I can do the 500 HP with it COOL

bah use a 421 :P

the crankshaft on the 366/396/402 and 427 all have the 3.76 stroke and are internally balanced . The 454 cranks are 4.00" stroke and are externally balanced . On a 396/402 It's possible to go all the way to the 4.251" bore and use standard 427 pistons . But do not use 454 pistons . They have 0.130" less compression height . But boring a 396/402 to 4.251" is risky and may not work . But the truck blocks have thicker cylinder walls and can be bored 0.125" over . Like a 283 COOL

well i thought there was a way to make your own 427 by switching cranks? yes i ahve seen alot of guys take 454 .125 over and .100 over
