527 FE, Have all of the parts you need
Pros: You build what you want, You have something that everybody does not have, You get all sorts of power at all rpms, heads breath better with the 4.375 bore, torque is better down low with the 4.375 stroke, you do not have to use full throttle very often, not a whole lot more than other stroker FE engines.
Cons: why did I not do this sooner
I have built several of these and have had zero problems with them. The blocks are dry between the cylinders anyway and the 4.375 block gets bigger sleeves so you have the same sleeve material as a 4.250 bore block. We have the Scat billet and KCR 4340 forging in stock, use a 6.700 rod and we have a Diamond piston for the application as well. Do stage three heads with the larger hydraulic roller, lighter valvetrain, T&D rockers and make a easy 700HP with the stack injection and maybe more. I did my with a solid street roller with about 200 seat pressure and 500 open pressure and it made power to 7000 rpms which was 750HP on premium pump gas.
Just let me know how I can help when you are ready and we will build you one bad FE for the new car. we have built one or two of them. Thanks, Keith
