Budget 427

Katech's budget 427 is on sale until 28 Feb!

This is first rate stuff at $6950 list less 20% off...... that's $5560 and is quite a steal and also one of the best for your money.

At that price, I'm strongly considering one for my Silverado!

^ I also want to say that that deal has free shipping as well. Either way, by far the strongest 427 using an LS2 block that your going to find.

Callies crank and rods, Wiseco pistons, ACL race main and coated rod bearings, ARP mainstuds. Long block has a bunch of options to discuss before I can give an honest price.

We like to use Morels and then you have a head choice to make. The Manton custom pushrods are more money as well so there are too many variable to give you a cost breakdown. Example: Morel link bar lifters $550 vs Ls7 lifters at $129, pushrods at $185 vs $104.

Our custom ground cam is $370 we will degree it in for free with a shortblock if you send us your stuff.

Your going about this way off track and with that method will likely end up with a headache.
