Default 427 Block and Parts

Hi Ross,

What you have is a marine block and crank. The rods sound like 428 SCJs.
The Offy intake is low-end, don't use it!! If the single 4 is a sidewinder (carb offset to the drivers side, its a good choice for the street, semi-strip, type car.
If you don't intend to race the car above 6500 rpm for a extended period of time, the parts listed are fine as long as a thorough blueprint is performed!!!!
Cam choice is critical for the best performance!! Also, a good head porting on the CJ heads along with an accurate intake port match, will really do wonders for the motor. I can get the CJs to flow around 320 cfm, while still keeping some good port velocity.

Hope this helps with your decision!!!
P.S. The price on this package is a tad high to me.
Block; 1200- 1500
Crank; 300 tops
Rods; 300
Pistons; 300
Heads; 500-600
Intake(Sidewinder) 450
Trans; 500-600
Total; 4050
