Then build it if it's what you want..... Other options might offer better performance for the same $$$$ spent....but that doesn't mean you can't build what you want...Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

im looking for a good streetable engine with some power. 450 hp and 500lbs tq. i know a 427 can get that done. and i know a 454 can get it done also. but its not what i want. just looking for some build specs on 427s.

To make 450 hp, I would start with a 9.5:1 compression ratio and cam it for a redline of 5500-6000 rpm. Throw on a set of decent flowing heads and you've got yourself an every day street performer that will run on whatever gas you throw at it.

YOU are making this complicated buy useing a 454 block and a 396 crank and using a old 427 pistons that will cost more than a 454? if you have this stuff then use it. but i thinking you do not? so at this point why not find a 454 rebuild it and be done with it. i never said a502?? find were i said this? the block you want to use to build this 427 is a 454 block less you have $$ to buy a real 427 block so?? why would you go down on the cid? and then throw out the 454 crank and buy a 366to427 crank ?and as far as me i am done . i try to help you you ask and did not like what i told you. there is many that would like my help and time . so good day .and what i build ? well with a 4.250 crank about 20+ of them and a 4 inch crank to many to count . 376 crank 5 or so i have runned 396 to 630+ big blocks the street for over 20 years so i told you that the 454-468 or the 489-496 would be the best for the money this is not complicated

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
