Default Ordered new 427

Well I have finally ordered my fav cubic inch motor. Its a iron 6.0 427 from Schwanke engines.

This will be the set up:
243 stage 3 heads
Custom cam (Still undecided)
Inch 7/8ths headers
F.A.S.T 92/92
M6 with 3.73 10 bolt

Plus 150 direct port shot.


I am hoping for 550+ rwhp NA.

What do all you think???

Think you're gonna need to invest in a good rear end with the new found power.. Congrats on the new motor, should be a blast.
