427bbc what are good internals

[joede870]

Edelbrock has some good intake manifolds, RHS/Edelbrock for the heads. Eagle/Scat for internals.

Do you know what I could get out of it for power hp and tq

600~ish with FI. Not much of a BB person.

If you are gonna spend some coin, come to the LS world.

Well what if I was to supercharge it?

But won't it have a lot of torque

How does one turn a truck motor to a hot rod motor

Google "427 tall deck" and you will find a lot of information. I have just seen guys not know what they have just acquired, and have a low RPM Tonawanda Truck engine instead of a hot rod 427 passenger car engine.

I do believe it is a tall deck is there anything I can do to his engine If I rebuild it with good pistons and put good heads, would you replace the tall deck crank? What about a stroker kit? And what would be the power output if I was to do all that and supercharge it?

GOOGLE TALL DECK 427....
That is not the same kind of 427 that was in cars.
Parts for car engines, like performance heads, and intakes, WILL NOT FIT on the
It is made for relatively low RPM... about 5500 max.
It was made for big trucks, like dump trucks, and yes it does have a lot of low RPM torque.
I have owned a few of them in trucks I had a number of years ago.

There is no way to get performance out of it?

There is always a way... if you spend enough money...
You would probably be a lot better off looking for a 427 that came out of a car if you want a BIG BLOCK... Parts are plentiful for them.
500 to 600 HP is fairly easy to get.
Or find a late model LS engine... either a 6L or a 6.2 L
The 6.2 is over 400 HP bone stock. It pretty easy to get well over 500 HP without spending a fortune on it.
