427ci help?
 

hey guys whats going on? alright im gonna be pickin up a bare ls1 block soon, and im wondering what is all involved in making it into a 427? i know i need to stroke it and what not, but what else is involved?

The block will have to be resleeved (dry or wet) and fitted with a stroker assembly.

My advice is talk to Steve D. at R.E.D >>>>> sponsor.
He is the only one I would 100% trust for this.
Why? because he is the develloper/pioneer of this procedure.

Then talk to me! I'm also in Lomabrd. I have a brand new set of pistons on the shelf for it, no waiting!

thaks. wish i had the money right now for the pistons i would def. take them off your hands. i have to get the block first. thats my main concern. i figured i would have to resleeved the motor and stroker. i just wasnt sure what else was invovled.

Save up for a sleeved ls2 block and don't bother with the LS1... You'll need a 4.125 bore and a 4.000" stroke!

Let me know I'll make you a good deal!!!!

ok thanks andy i appreciate it. i dont want to get a ls2 because i dont want to have to run a new PCM

Andy you get your car back yet? if so how is that thing, pretty wild?

Better off doing an LS2 402. That is just a stroker crank. I believe 383 is the biggest you can go on just stroke. To get the 427, you need to bore the block, which requires re-sleeving an LS1 block.

:jest: You don't have to change your pcm. Just get a 24x reluctor crank and a knock sensor extension and you are good to go. You still have to have it resleeved of course. Oh yeah and lots of money. :jest:

Still finishing the boost controller. It's almost done. It looks REALLY nice. I should be doing some tuning tomorrow. I would love to have the car done for Saturday RSD but I don't think thats going to happen. Jim doesn't tune on Saturday :bang: , unless I can talk him into it $$$! :devil:

that sounds good. i cant wait to see it. the car is gonna be such a beast.
