Biography

I live in Tulsa Oklahoma. I am a CPA, my day job. I drove Super Modified open wheel race cars for several years, so I have experience with speed. I purchased a 1965 Cobra built from a kit that the original owner sold the engine and transmission.

Skip the big block boat anchor and go with a stroked small block 427. My Roush makes 550 hp, weighs less, runs cooler and handles better without having all that weight in the front.

A few quick points. 1) 450 Hp can be made with a 289 and any Windsor, Cleveland, FE, or 385 series engine. 2) Flow through the heads is what makes the power. The better the heads the less cam...

While I don't agree with Chevy, Sacrelidge would be buying their all electric version. I saw a BMW I8 tonight sitting in a parking lot and while it was a beautiful looking car and all, I thought to...

IMO, matters to what you want to do and how deep your pockets are. 427 Windsor engine is a short lived engine. If you wind it out often, they beat themselves to death. Same problem with the 302/347. ...

I never owned a 427W, but I do have a 5.0 stroked to 347. At the 400 - 450 Hp range no problems at all with it. I try to keep the RPM below 6500, but have hit the 7000 rpm rev limiter several...

I have a 351w with approx 500 hp; cooling has never been in issue. I would think big block cooling is more of an issue than small block cooling, no?
