Default LSX 427ci (pictures and video)

Well, my LSX block was delivered this weekend and I wanted to keep you guys updated on the progression.
I finished up the nitrous wiring on the car last weekend.
Everything should be in the car later this week and the tuning started next week.
Just waiting on Thunder Racing to deliver the Harmonic Balancer!
Hope that you guys enjoy the pictures.

Special thanks goes out to LME, Nitro Daves, and SQR for everything!


I will have completed pictures and dyno numbers coming soon.

What made you choose the 427 vs a 454? Just curious as to your though process.

I am very interested in all of the LSX threads and watching to see how you guys do. Definately going this way when the $$$ are available.

Coming very soon.
Harmonic Balancer came in today.
Getting the car SD tuned will probably take the longest time.

BIG Cam Motion custom grind!

That's opening up a big can of worms!
Me personally, I did it more for safety and longevity purposes.
4.00" crank vs 4.125"
Plus if I scar up a cylinder wall, I can go bigger to a 454 with ease!

I appreciate the compliments from everyone.
A lot of time and research went into the build...hell, the whole car for that matter.

I will try my best to get some video's of the car for you guys asap.
Maybe even try out the new line lock and MT's DRs too!
