Stroker Arrived!
Well Drew brought the new stroker motor over Friday afternoon and it sure looks good sitting in front of the Cobra...........
Working on dressing it out and hopefully in next week or so it will be going in.............. |
Why not SHOW us now good it looks like sitting in front of the car?:) :)
|
No digital camera but maybe my good friend Mr. Russell will come by and take a few....
|
Sharp
Can't wait to see and hear HER!!
The Royal One!! |
Whoa ... sounds sweet! Any details on this engine? From your sig and profile, I guess it started as a 427 S-O, but has been stroked. So how much cubes now? Do you have other dyno specs like torque and rpms?
Cheers, -Neil. |
Gary, having a 427W stroker in the works myself, I'd be interested to hear some details of your engine configuration. What diameter header tubes are you running?
|
I'll bring the camera up!
Gary,
I can head up this afternoon/evening after I pick John up from Football practice, which will be sometime between 5:30 & 6:00. I can't wait to see it either! Have you put on those awesome pent roof valve covers yet?? Oh man, I'm salivating at my desk!!! I'll call before I head up! :D :D John |
Gary, I may have missed it in a previous thread, but your gallery shows your car sporting a big block. If you're pulling the BB and replacing it with the Windsor stroker, what was the motivation?
|
Sorry I haven't replied to some of your questions as I've been off the site a few days.
First of all this is not a SO 427 but a 351 based 427 small block stroker built by Keith Craft Racing. It's not going in the Blue SPF with the 514 in my gallery as I sold that car last fall. Going in a new SPF black with gold stripes. 2 inch headers, fully C & C Brodix heads, 351 W racing block, Scat pistons, Eagle rods and crank, D & D shaft mounted rockers and a bunch other neat goodies.. Dynoed at 637.8 HP and 605 ft lbs of tork...... |
I'm quite impressed! Just wondering, what is the compression of your new motor and at what RPM is the HP & TQ numbers the highest? Thanks and best wishes!
|
Compression is 10.6
Tork: 604.1 at 5100 RPM HP: 637.9 at 6700 RPM Just need to get it in now. Car is pretty much prepared and finishing a few add ons for the engine. Just need a cooler day now! |
Let me help out a bit on the engine components since I put it together. JE pistons (custom 4.125 Bore) SCAT h-Beam 4340 rods, Eagle forged crank 4.00 stroke. T&D shaft mounted rockers,Fully CnC'd M2 Track 1 Heads by Brodix ( Angle milled 15 degrees to get proper static compression). Big Lunati solid roller, Victor jr. intake, 351-W block that's the Siamese bore NASCAR 9.5 deck block. 4 Blot mains. We could have easily got 700+ out of it but gary wanted pump gas so we eeked out a mere 638 out of her. Drew Baird. Engine is From Keith Craft Motorsports.

JBAIRD,
Thank you both for your detail(s). The art here is moving air through those heads. I marvel at SB blocks running low CR and on pump gas turning those numbers with reasonable revs. JBAIRD, What do you know, if anything about Competition Machine in Plano? If you would rather respond to me personally via private email use tony@crssales.com. Thanks for your thoughts! |
Just curious, what does a rig like that go for?
|
I'm having machine work brought over from there by their customers and wanting us to redo it and make it right. A real nice stroker with a 4 bolt block is somewhere between 13,500-15,500. add 2500.00 for Aluminum block.
|
Curious --- what sort of transmission/clutch combo is going behind this?
Cheers, -Neil. |
Transmission is a Tremec TKO II, McLeod aluminum flywheel, clutch and pressure plate.
