Hey tpepmeie, I just noticed you are in Indianapolis? As luck would have it, I am also here in indianapolis until Friday. If your shop is close by, maybe I could come over?

Unless it's something very unusual, I'd say stroker.

Stock Stroke: 3.660
Stock Bore: 3.900

427 Stroke: 4.000
427 Bore: 4.125

why didn't you go with the dropped plenum and Siamesed runners? looks good all bolted together

tpepmeie · 01-13-2011

It's a 4" Bryant crank. 4.1255 bore.

The headers I got many years ago from a forum member. I believe they are ex-Baker racing headers from the road racing program in the 90's. Had them re-coated this year. 2 in. primaries / 28 in. long. They fit in a C4, I had them in my 91 previously. Torque is improved over the standard Watson/Jeals.

Did the sums and could not see the need for full siamesed runners. There is plenty of area as we have done it. The divider is removed in the plenum. Would have liked more plenum volume, but cost/benefit trade wasn't appealing.

ps. why didn't I clean up that pwr steering pump? Looks like @#% on a fresh motor.

well there's still time todd, giddy up

That engine is a dream - a 427 LT5? Wow... magic to the eyes and ears... I have no idea what that cost to put together but geez... I can only dream!

Wrap that up in a Dark Red ZR-1 and that would be my idea of heaven

Pretty stealthy with the stock looking plenum. What do you anticipate the idle characteristics to be?
