And, I met with the engine builder and sorted out the problem. He thought I wanted an 8000 rpm rev limit and was advising the 1.56:1 rod/stroke ratio on the 427 wouldn't do it, and that I should back off to 3.62 (about 395 cubic inches) and it would do that and be a screamer. But I want the cubes, so I'll stick with 6,500 rpm and it will be solid.
NOW YOUR COOKING with GAS (C5R 427 shifting at 6500, hmm, sounds familiar:D)!!!! :cheers: :cheers: Best of luck and enjoy ALL THE NEW POWER!!!!!! :auto: :chevy :steering:

:iagree: There aren't any common problems associated with the C5R 427 that I know of. Mine's been running for over a year and it has never had any problems burning oil.
