Lingenfelter 403 Build (pics)
Here are some pics from Kevin at Lingenfelter from the engine build today.
I am doing the completely forged 403 Engine package from LPE
Plus the Exedy Clutch
My baseline was really good considering no tune

For me it was the following
1. The 4k difference for the 427 block did not seem cost effective to me. The hp difference is not that much difference because the 427 package uses the same heads and intake as the 403.
2. I wanted to keep the origonal #s matching motor in my car.
3. My car is street driven only, I do not drag race it or track it so did not see the need in spending the exta $$$$

Great choices. I am very happy with my LPE 403. It has plenty of power.
This is me duking it out with a Roush 427 Mustang. My 403 had plenty of power to pull away on the straights and held it's own in the twisties.
