Need some pirice on engine? I'm starting to save some money right now (I probable won't have the money till next year or so) and wondering How much does a 427 goes for? I'm just talking about the block and forge internal. And also I have one more question. What is the different from short block and long block? I'm guessing the long block is longer/bigger? Sorry for asking some stupid question. I'm still learning.
thanks mike
thanks mike

thanks for your info. now all i need is a ball park price. I got a feeling that this a going to cost an arm and a leg but i'm just wondering. More realistic plane will be going with 402 or 408.

I'm assuming you're looking for pricing on a 427 LS1/LS6 engine?? If so you might want to check out the LS-based forums.
If you're looking to go old school 427 big block chevy, IMHO start with a 454 (cheaper and easier to find) and stroke that to a 496 or higher.

here is a list of all the motors that jegs has for sale. look it over and you might beable to find something in your price range.
what is funny is that a bone stock ls1 cost $6000! when you can get a 454 with 425 hp and over 500lb of torque for $1100 less lol.
