427sb update!!!
Well finally got the chance to start my all new Dart 427sb on a engine stand.
A couple of turns on the dist. and she fired right up!!!
Warmed it a bit set the base timing pulled the valve covers to check the oil flow thru the push rods. Then I let it rip!! It sounds really nasty
the throttle response is incredible.
So now it's time to take out the old 383 and detail the compartment then drop her in. I'll see if a friend has a digital camera to take a video to post.

I've got to get my 412 block to the machine shop so I can get that project going. Anyone got a T56 that they want to let go, cheap?
