Seriously thinking about a 427 Buildup Hello everyone,
I am just posting here because I am seriously thinking about starting to save up money for a 427 buildup on my LS1. I want it streetable and dependable. I am just wondering what would a complete list of parts I would need to do this build and what is an estimate of how much this would all cost?
I don't want to go FI I want all motor and hopefully about 550 to 600rwhp without an overly large cam.
Thanks,
Chris

Dude, that's a great project. I've been thinking about starting to save up too. My builder is working on my 5.3 heads for my 5.7 LS1 right now and keeps asking, "What we going to do next to make some serious power?"
A 427 would be SCHWEET
I got some PMs about re-sleeving to 4.125, I'll forward them on to you
