Default Street 427

Ok lets hear it. I want to get a 427 built for the street. If you were to build up a ls3/l92 427 that had manners to drve everyday on the street, which parts would you use? Looking for 525 rwhp through a stick. If any of you sponsors can shoot me prices and suggestions that would be great! Thanks!

With the LS7 intake manifold being sooooo much better than anything available for the LS3/L92s, I'd have to recommend LS7 heads/intake on top of whatever 427 block you choose. 525rwhp is so easy to make with those heads. The intake manifold is one of the key components.

you could use LS7 heads and intake if you wanted. I put L92 heads and L76 intake on my 427 and love it. I got everything through Texas Speed. It made 534hp in a locked A4. Should be easy to make 525 on a stick.

Shoot me an e-mail with what you have in mind and I will put together a detailed quote for you. I think I helped with some parts at my last job

I think he is talking l92 block 427 Pat.

If not, Pat is completely correct. You would have to be a complete moron to NOT make 525 rwhp with a ls7 topend.

This is a good question Superman09 and is basically a similar boat as I am in right now also. (427 any block, 525rwhp ballpark, 6spd)
My only addition would be to add that, being a daily driver motor, I would like to pick parts that can optimize that as much as possible unless it means I can't have a heavy lope.

With a 427, unless you use a VERY small cam. It will sound very lopy...

LS7 heads want a 4.125 bore or bigger. You looking at a 4.070 bore.

So I guess that means a 427ci L92 has a different bore/stroke than a 427ci LS7?

That is correct! LS7 427 is a 4" stroke, the 427 LS3 is a 4.1" stroke.

Yep, just as Matt stated 4"stroke x 4.125 bore or 4.100 stroke x 4.070 bore.

When going with a LS3 427, can you use the TFS 235s or would the bore be too small with the LS3 block. Which then you would use the TFS 225 heads??

I just built a 4.070" bore iron block (cause I'm cheap) with a 4.100" crank, TFS 235's and a crappy Weiand aluminum intake (back to the cheap thing) and it made 635 HP 580 TQ on an engine dyno. It made killer average torque. A TFS head with a Fast intake will make as much power as a LS7 setup and a lot more average torque. Here is the dyno sheet compared to the TFS 440 with a ported Fast intake. And a link of the TFS 440 with an unported Fast versus LS7 heads and intake out of the box. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ls7+vs+235+tfs
