Re: IT"S ALIVE!! (427Hotrod)
Thanks guys!
What is it they say? No such thing as too much cam...just not enough motor?
I went fairly conservative on the first version of this motor to test the waters. It was really awful mild even with the 262/273@.050 .675/.678 on 112 LSA cam.
I ran it on stand some more last night and tuned carb a little. After changing PV once and setting throttle plates / idle screws it really started to come around as far as throttle response etc. I'm sure there will be more after I get it on the road, but it's in the ballpark now. It really acts like it is going to idle down pretty well.
I'm still working on gettin it on a dyno this week. Should know for sure today.
Let's see....sidestep about 4500 rpm and pull gears at 6800-7000 or so.....that ought to be just about right huh??? :eek:

Sounds like a MONSTER motor, enjoy and if you get bored with it, I could probably be convinced to take it off your hands, especially after you install it in your vette! :jester

Re: IT"S ALIVE!! (427Hotrod)
Just gotta find a dyno I can get on this week. I'm ready to go riding. If not, I guess I can do the chassis dyno thing. I guess 690-700 RWHP will get me over 800.

Can't wait to see what she does, Jim. I say if the engine dyno thing doesn't work, get that bad-boy in the car and start driving it around. Chassis dynos work just fine from what I've experienced.
Have fun! :)
