Build the Flip Top (CSX 2196) not 3002. No one has done that. It is one of the most, if not thee most, significant 427 built. Miles' project--stem to stern. The prototype 427--it doesn't get any...

As a precaution, I would change out the rear seal and the input bearing gasket. Those are a five minute job. You could change out the input bearing--it isn't very hard since, unlike a Muncie, the...

Changing out the input is pretty easy. Recently I did one on a box that had a damaged input. It took all of about five minutes to complete. You don't need to drop the entire cluster to the bottom of...

Compare the cost of a rebuild and what it would take to upgrade to a 3550 or a TKO. You might find the latter to be more desirable. The T-5 wasn't the greatest box that ever graced the planet.

At some point the novelty wears off. The universe of buyers for a car in this price range is very limited and, I would suspect, saturation is, probably, not far off.

Dan Williams was once the "go to" guy for Toploaders but he isn't any longer. You can't buy the hard to find stuff from him, either.

I would suspect that the "grind" in third has nothing to do with the horsepower that is referenced in your post. Sounds more like a blocker ring that is not doing its job.

A five gear box, a la Tremec, would not give you any more of an advantage than a Toploader since the fifth gear is under 1.00.

Thorin:

Sure. As a matter of fact, those are pretty close to the specs that Enzo used on his 427 car. His air correction jets were around 210, I think. Other than that, they are right on the money.
