Re: 427 Tall Deck

I hear this all the time that they won't spin high RPMs. In a way that is true, they weren't designed to spin high, but they will go to 5k or so.

A friend of mine has one at his work. Guess the carb was acting up, took it off for a Holley 750, and woke it right up. It will bark the tires when he shifts. They factory carb on the tall decks have a governor to keep from sky'n the RPMs.

These are torque monsters, pushing almost 500 lb/ft of torque. Can't wait to see what mine will do.

Oh and for accessories, all the regular big block stuff goes on, depending what you have. I took the accessory off my 89 that had a 454 and bolted it up to my TD427. Only thing that won't is the upper A/C bracket.
