427 SO build
Looking for some FE build advice, I have a '68 hydraulic 427 SO block, and want to start collecting the parts for a build for my cobra; I dont want to go stroker, but would like to rev it to maybe 6500; so looking for a zero/internal balanced rotating assembly that I can get properly balanced, with ally flywheel etc once I have the block cleaned, sonic and any machining finished.
What are the recomendations on here; my thoughts were Eagle H beam rods and an aftermarket crank, maybe SCAT?
Head wise looking at ED's which also get me a weight saving, was thinking 73cc chambers with JE or Wiseco flat tops giving me around 10.6:1 CR. I'm open to advice with cam choice, I like the performance of a comp 270H in small blocks, but as this is my first big block build; maybe I need a little more cam?
Usage is a mixture of fairly hard street use (I have heavy shoes..especially the rght one....) with some cruising around when 'entertaining'..no track days.
I have a 2 x 4 barrell set up for it, which would be nice to use.
Any thoughts or advice for an FE newbie would be much appreciated!!
