First one works for me

MOTOWN LS 427 Drag Engine



The block that took the industry by storm, by allowing you to mate the latest in LS1/7 cylinder heads to the traditional small block Chevy, the MOTOWN LS, has been built into a 427 cubic inch race engine!

Starting with World Products' MOTOWN LS block, topped off with WARHAWK 12° LS7 heads, CNC ported with ports designed by Jim Kuntz of Kuntz & Company, and a solid roller cam, the result was overwhelming - 800 HP!

Currently this engine makes more horsepower per cubic inch than anything else we offer! And we're still not done.

This engine because I had a 434 sbc chevy I already had and crack the factory block. I was upgrading to a race block and figured this is a cool different way to go, Use all my short block components and sell my upper end to buy a cheaper more powerful Ls7 top end. My AFR heads flowed 320 cfm. The new LS7 heads flow a lot mor at 390 cfm not to mention there at a more efficent 12* valve angle.
