My BBC couple pictures.

Sound like nice heads, I notice the HV 2007 intake is rated for 3,500 to 7,000 but lists as a dual plane, is that the Rpm range you want, not sure what you are using it for, but looks major with those heads. Would like to hear that beast run.

[Blue Rat]

Air gap would have it on low end an lose it on mid an upper. Brodix would do just the opposite. We are talking about 20 HP difference. So I went with the Brodix. The HV 2007 is a single plane.

[mud.man.rj]

I figured it had to be a single plane with the range it is rated for, but the site I used said dual plane, I thought no must be a mistake especially with those heads too. Should really rip, what stall are you running with it and trans.

[Blue Rat]

Going with a 400 turbo an getting a converter made for it. Probably a Neal Chance. Either 4.11's or 4.30's in the rear. Have not made up my mine yet on gear. AED cust carb.

I would like to have one of the six speed TCI tranny's but little to pricey for me.

So a Neil Chance convertor, nice , what inch convertor and what stall, prob a 10" I imagine so it ramps up a bit quicker. Hard to beat a T400 for strength, good choice.

I never did catch the chamber c.c. for a final compression ratio?

[Blue Rat]

CC's on the CC is 118. With those heads expect to see around 10.8 to 11.1.

[Blue Rat]

The intake an valve covers are on now. I would like to have got it running this summer but the funds are not like they were last summer.

[Captainfab]

I think most of us know about 'funds' issues.

I say you have done very well so far. I can see you have already spent a good amount of funds on the quality parts you are putting into this engine.

I like the block color with the alum and grey, nice.

Thanks mud man,

The more I think about it the more I wish the timing cover was aluminum too.

[mud.man.rj]

I agree with you on the timing cover..but it will be covered up mostly by the water pump so will only see the top of it up close but not from further back. Still cool.

[Blue Rat]

Well on call again this weekend have plans of bolting the balancer an water pump sometimes this weekend.

[mud.man.rj]

Ya being on call keeps you at home, I just got off the on call, nice 1 week of freedom till next weekend again. Having a car show here tomorrow, end of season fall show, will take some pic's. Cleaned mine up all night for tomorrow.

[BossHogg69]

That motor looks awesome Terry, I'm sure you are ready to let that beast rip!

[prostreetC-10]

Curious.....why a 427?

[Blue Rat]

I built a car about 20 years ago with a 427 in it an wanted to build one again. No particular reason other than that reason.

[Blue Rat]

Pro street I thought about building a 496 but. I just wanted to see what I could get the truck to do with a similiar engine. But it ended up more than what I had in the long run. So we will see how it turns out.

[mud.man.rj]

Don't know why but always liked the sound of saying I have a 427, me I have a 454 but just doesn't sound the same as a 427, must be a not as common vette thing.

When I get ready to build the next one. It is going to be around 500 CID. I would like to get everything lined out with this one.

[prostreetC-10]

Funny you say that. I thought I was going to freshen up my 454 but I called Scat this morning. I can get a 496 rotator for about $1,200. Can't imagine the torque. There IS something cool about saying 427. That's because is was the sheet back in the day. Sumpin kinda kool about "496" too! ;o)

[mud.man.rj]

Hmmm, $1,200 hey for a 496 kit, like my 454 with 525hp now, but getting used to it already and only have about 500 miles on it, will get a bit more as it loosens up but do like the sound of a 496 compared to a 454. WAY to many ideas here sometimes.

[shawnt]

I run those same heads except i have the cnc version and 115cc chambers. Makes 10.5:1 with 18cc domes.
I run them on a 496 though. Took it out last weekend and played with air pressure in the slicks and went 7.08 @ 95.27. Still have alot to play with but i think these heads are really good. You should make some good torque

[Blue Rat]

I have since changed camshafts an put one of those fancy timing cover on Prostreet convinced me into buying. Also bought me a Neal Chance converter. Starting to get motivated on this project again.
