BBC 427 Tall deck build
Hey y’all bought a tall deck 427 for my mud truck for 500 bucks tore it apart discovered it’s been bored .30 over with flat top pistons went to Summit got a set of copper head gaskets on scratch n dent a cam (110° lobe separation 519 lift 218@.50 & 284 advertised duration intake & exhaust) & an Edelbrock high rise intake I ran the peanut port heads until I found a set of 3856206 heads on Craigslist already ported & reworked with new springs roller rockers and on top is a 670 Holley off road avenger carb. My question is can I build some horses and torque with what I have here or do I just have a stew of parts that don’t blend with each other

Are the pistons truck pistons? (IE extra ring? Or conventional pistons) IMO that a lot of extra weight if you are going to leave it a 427. But to answer your question it's possible to make it a torque motor but Hi HP is out of reach without some $$. If it's already apart, try looking up OHIO Cranshaft. They have some good prices on stroker kits.
