Need Advice on 427 BB Build Up
As the topic says I'm looking for advice on which way to head in reguards to parts for my 1969 Project car. This is not a numbers matching thing so I'm wide open to your inputs. I'm looking to make around 400hp. Below is a list of parts I have to start from:
Engine
454, GenIV, 2-Bolt Block, Std bore
1969 Rect Port Heads, Closed Chamber, 110cc
1969 435hp Tri-Power Set up
427 Steel Crank, Std
3/4 of a set of Comp Cam Steel Roller Rockers. 1:72
Crane Cams Timing Chain and Gear Set
Complete set of tin and brackets for 69 427/435hp car
Drive Train
M-21
3:73 gears
I guess my biggest question is what Pistons and Cam parts should I use to complete this engine and get the best performance out of it. I have been looking at:
TRW L2300F30 pistons
Comp Cam 280HR
I'm so confused!!!!! :confused:

Re: Need Advice on 427 BB Build Up (Mr D.)
if you're on a budget, i have a edelbrock RPM cam and lifters, that was only run in the shop to break it in, the lifters are marked so you put them on the same lobes they were broken in on. it's a hydro street cam, but Edelbrock makes 540HP with it (check their web site, under dyno results.... they have all the details of the 454 they put together there you may find useful). you can have the cam/lifters cheap if you're interested.
