And so it begins again !
Another engine, in my basement,
this time a real stump puller 427ci with this Eagle 4340 4 inch stroker. Going to build a torque monster this time, will be shooting for 600TQ and near the same HP. I am contemplating a hydraulic roller cam but haven't decided yet. I will be collecting parts and doing this over the winter, basically for some thing to do

Hey! Forged crank and hydraulic roller! I would like to think I helped convert you.
We went a few rounds on here about both.

Basement?? Man, how the heck do you get it out?? Nothing short of knocking down walls would get mine out. 
Had to garage build. After the holidays ($$) my 406 will be ready to dyno.
Sure would like to see a Crower Hyd Roller in that 427 monster. Check here for good Dart Little M pricing. http://www.competitionproducts.com Great service, tech, and fast ship.
Good luck Motorhead. Keep us posted
