Default 427 for caddy

Will this be a good block for my stock v, if so how should I accessorize?

https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iv-internal-engine/548511-katech-value-427-short-blocks.html

I am definitely going to go to forced induction and possibly spray.

That is the block I am running. They offer lower compression option for those with boost in mind. I N/A and putting just over 480hp to the wheels with no problems other than traction.

You can have a forged and studded LS7 short block with a higher quality component content for much less.

Anyone know what this guy does to avoid the wheel-hoppin? If you spend that much in a motor, might as well do whatever this guy has done...

His tires are so fried he couldn't pay for the traction it takes to produce wheel hop.

For some reason I cant get past thinking about doing a twin turbo remote application on a 427, I read the previous discussion about whether its worth it or if I should just stick with a supercharger but dunno, for now I just want to forge up the engine and break it in. Plus Im a Marine so I need to save up for each purchase at least until I go to Iraq... YES KILL, KILL

I've never known anyone to know it all. This is a board to share information, so if I have an answer or opinion, I post it. Plenty of topics I stay away from, believe me.......

Val,

I take it nothing has materialized???
