Re: 427 Questions (garagedweller2)
Does GM make 427 blocks? What is the difference between the 390+400 hp versions? was there a tri-power hyd. cam version?

Re: 427 Questions (garagedweller2)
390 and 400 hp were both the same engine and cam with hydraulic lifters. 390 had a single Q-jet four barrel(68-69) or a single Holley four barrel(67) and the 400hp had tri-power(three Holley 2 barrels). Same engine-different carburetion. Get a corvette Black Book... It's loaded with all the stuff you have been asking. Well worth the price and it will make you Corvette "Savvy" :cool: :cool:

Re: 427 Questions (TONYS68L36)
Yes we are glad to have youngsters interested. I certainly didn't my comment in a derogitory way by any means. I have spent many hours trying to help newcomers young and old. I was just letting you know about a very informative book that is available and is loaded with facts, triva, engine codes, trans code, etc. plus colors, quantities made. I am sorry if my last post came across wrong. :seeya

I've got some books that I'll look in tonight when I get home. I do know that some small block can be drilled and tapped for four bolt mains, others cannot . I am not sure about big blocks though....Later :seeya

Re: 427 Questions (BubbaJJ)
Bubba is right, I think summit offers the caps - either straight or splayed.
390 / 400 were hydraulic cam 2 Bolt mains,
435 hp were roller cam 4 Bolt mains!

Re: 427 Questions (bence13_33)
Bence,
No problem, that;s what the forum is for.
Sorry to go off topic a little, but do you have an oil pan already Bence? I bought a new "replacement" Milodon for my 427, but it didn't clear the stock main bolts (with studs for the windage tray). I still have it, and if you would like, we can make a deal. If you do, please email me.
Ken :cheers:
