Sweet little 427....
I'm doing this one for a road race Galaxie in London. Just real cool parts...thought I'd post some pics.
This is an NOS 427 S/O, using C3 LR heads, and a LR 2x4 intake. That's about where the nostalgia ends. :) Will be dyno'ing the first week of July...hoping for some healthy numbers. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps675b8489.jpg http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps7cd1fd52.jpg http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps3cc7c065.jpg |
Sweet, I see $$$$$$$$$$$$$
|
You an't kiddin'.
Block was over $5k by itself. Oliver rods, custom pistons, EXTREME porting on heads/intake. New carbs. $$$$ |
...and beautiful looking valve covers to boot.
You'll have to post some pics when she's all dressed up. I'm keen to see. :) Take care |
I will. Had to cut the balancer spacer down and have a pulley spacer made, so when it's all together with carbs, etc., I'll post a pic. This was a "rules" engine, with some pretty stupid rules to boot. Running a 391 forged crank with BBC rod journals, Oliver rods, and factory adjustable rockers....hahahaha Valve springs cost more than a billet steel roller cam though, hollow stem Ferrea valves, really small/light ring pack...like "push pistons in with your fingers" light. Cool stuff. :)

What did you get the heads to?

I like the fact that you're evidently getting an international reputation for quality FE builds.

I'm not going to give away many details, but ports have been moved around. :). Not a super stock deal, but these are humping along better than some edelbrocks out there.

cute tiny 306
Coming from the world of sports cars, I find it a somewhat amusing that anyone could call a 427 "little". But, more cubes has traditionally been believed to be the path to more power. So, I am wondering what is the largest displacement engine ever put into a Cobra?

Most of my FE's are in the 482-496 range, doing a 501 for forum member David Wade right now. |
Brent: Nice !
I've been looking for valve covers like that, with the hold down bosses up the sides, with no lettering. Where did you get yours ?? Ted |
Ted, these are standard issue Blue Thunder competition valve covers. I just had my logo CNC'd into them.
