427 For Sale

[scuncio]

This is not a restoration motor, but an excellent street/strip engine if you don't care about date coding and broach marks. I built this motor for a Chevy High Performance magazine article (I'll have to remember exactly which month it ran) and have never had time to do anything with it.

Specs:
1978 445-casting 2-bolt block, line honed, ARP studded mains
Resized 3/8" 'truck' rods with ARP waveloc bolts, floating pins, shot peened
Brand new GM steel crank, std/std, 6223 forging
Federal Mogul Competition series bearings
+0.030" SRP medium-dome pistons, JE file-fit rings
Fully balanced assembly
9.75:1 compression
Merlin oval port iron heads
Howard solid cam (245/252 @ 0.050", .587/.578, 110LSA)
Howard 1.7 billet roller rockers
Howard custom length hardened pushrods
Howard EDM-drilled "direct lube" lifters
Merlin cast valve covers
World Products dual plane intake (looks like a GM 063 copy)
BG Speed Demon 750 mech-secondary carb
Milodon HV oil pump and 8-qt Chevelle pan
All ARP fasteners
PowerBond SFI balancer (Australian made)
Flexplate
Stock distributor with Unilite conversion
Dyno time only

Made 501 hp @ 6300rpm, 510 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm. Torque curve is nice and flat--it made 468 lb-ft @ 3000 rpm.

I'm only considering selling it because I haven't touched the thing since I built it. Looking for $5000 for everything.

Thanks for the ad,
Tony
