Default Old school ls427

This is the engine that I put together for my 67 Camaro. Did my best to disguise it as an old school SBC.

-Shafiroff Big Dawg LS7 short block (Callies, Wiseco)
- GM LS3 heads (cnc'd by Texas speed, 68 cc)
- Cam Motion hyd roller
- BTR shaft rocker kit
- Johnson 2116 short travel lifters
- Holley split single plane intake
- Holley Terminator EFI (throttlebody).
- 11.3 compression.
-Runs on 91 pump gas. Nice, friendly hotrod engine that pulls strong everywhere and will still run power brakes.

**566 TQ, 564 HP at the wheels through a T56 Magnum.

I had a Dart 400 SBC in my car before this engine. I could never get that MF'r to quit leaking. Once I figured out how to make an LS look mostly period correct, I decided to go for it. Holley swap parts makes in super easy. Direct bolt in.

See, that’s how an LS in a classic is supposed to look. Well done!

So many times you see a forward facing “typical” intake manifold on these types of builds…. Swing and a miss - in my humble opinion, of course…

Now, if Holley would make that same Tb setup with DBW, it would be awesome.

Enjoy, and best of success with it!
