[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16534494, member: 70025"] Hello geoffmt. At the beginning of this thread I was debating on what to do as far as the engine goes. I "WAS" thinking of going back to the 347 because I had all the parts already and would just need to bolt them back on a fresh short block. Then I had a conversation with my engine builder. I "WANT" to be in the 600HP range naturally aspirated. A 347 wouldn't get me there without a power adder. I seen shows on TV (i.e. horsepower TV) where they took a 351W and stroked it to a 427 and cracked the 600HP mark on the dyno. So, I decided to go that route. The only problem I have at this point is I plan on running my old AFR 185 heads. Those will not flow enough to get my set up to the 600HP mark. However, my engine builder said those heads flow VERY well and will make some nice torque on the street. I can always upgrade my heads later, but my engine builder told me that after I feel the power with the 427 with the AFR 185 heads he thinks I'll be happy with the performance. [b][U]So, the bottom line is this car "WILL" see a 427 in the engine bay this go around :D[/U][/b]… And I can't wait to get this thing done and fired up some time next year :cool:... [/QUOTE]
