Turk-it does not cost anymore to build a 427 than a 428, other than the block, this is just another misconception that exists about these engines, just as the myths continue about sleeves,
dampners, cranks, heads, rods, and what works and what doesn't in terms of performance. Take your new engine for example, how many times have you read a post that states the tunnel port heads are not streetable? Most people don't have any first hand experience with building these engines, their knowledge comes from what they have been told or read from secondary sources, which isn't all bad if it is tempered with some actual on hands experience, and I am not talking about claiming experience by knowing where the gas cap is on a Cobra. Did you stroke your T.P. as I suggested long ago? My brother thinks you have gone too far in copying both his paint and now his engine and is thinking of retaining Jamo to look into an injunction.

Pat-it only took me three months.
