I trust you went to a reputable builder so make that 5 very smart, very experienced FE builders chiming in. So three said it absolutely did and two said it absolutely didn't. I'm also sure you weighed all that was said, and at the end of the day was convinced a shorter stroke makes for a better revving engine or you wouldn't have done it. You do realize in doing so, you are in fact trying to make your BB 427 FE more like a 427 SBF
Great post eschaider, glad emphasis was placed here ...
One thing however is for certain, all things being equal, two identical engines, one of which has a lighter rotating assembly, the engine with the lighter rotating assembly will always out accelerate the engine with the heavier rotating assembly — it is inescapable.
... some will never get it, or admit to getting it, too much vested on the wrong side of the coin.
