Re: 427 swap done (DiabolicalDave)

Nice to see that somebody got the Stealth Ram to work in a Corvette and it looks like it is doing ok.
Is this GrummpysVette (think that is his Ide) plennum?

Sounds like you have a nice engine there and it looks good too.

Yes, it is Grumpyvette's plenum.

Re: 427 swap done (DiabolicalDave)

I've about decided I'm going to use your extensive guidelines and knowlege base as the foundation for my next engine build. I've known for some time that I wanted a 427ci SBC for my car, but I've put it off indefinitely because of all of the unknowns I knew I'd encounter along the way. The concept behind your build reads practically word-for-word as exactly what I've desired for this car. I have to congradulate you on the foresight you had in creating a data base of your build. Excellent effort! :thumbs: :hurray: :thumbs:

Rome, thanks. It pleases me to hear it was worth the effort because it helps somebody else. I figure since CF has given me so much help I should give something back and that documentation is part of it. When you get ready to pull the trigger, get with me and I might have a few more insights. You can't put everything on a website. Good luck.

Thanks for sharing Dave.

I am working towards a similar setup in my car in the future and your sharing your experience so freely here is most helpful.

Thanks. :thumbs:

Must be nice driving it around now. :steering:
