hello again that 75 ray i'm getting from my bro. (16 days and counting) nov. 20 when i visit for thanksgiving in Phoenix boy cant wait had a few rods but never a vett (will post some pic when i get there) like i said in other post he did some engine work and the best he did was 14.006 @ (128mph i think) in the quarter its a sb 350 auto trans and if i remeber right 3/73 rears he has a 427bb sitting around i'd like to have but getting it to FL would be a pain being i a truck driver and hardly ever home--- she anit stock anymore front and rear bumber assembles are wrong year are just wrong going to put a stock front bumber on it but the rear going with the spoiler like the 74 --- just wondering on the cons of upgradeing to the 427bb yea i know the 454 is bigger but ever sience i saw a 66 427bb with rate 435hp from the factory always wanted one dont have the 66 but can still get the 427 so what you think and anyone know the headaches i'll face?

 

YES, YES, YES,Love them BB's![sm=icon_rock.gif]
A 427 ain't nothin' to sneeze at! Horses is horses, and a 427 can put 'em out!
One thing you might concider, the front springs from a BB car should go in.
The BB's are heavier that a SB.
I'm curreently goin from a 350 to a 454, and have alresdy upgraded my front (and rear) suspension.
Man, I'd carry that 427 on my back if I had to, just to get it home!
Should be quite a Thanksgiving/Christmas you'll have!
Have a good one, and congrats!

 

A 427 and a 454 are the same block. You can think of a 454 as a 427 "stroker", as the crank is changed to increase the stroke of the pistons. Motor mounts will line up, and the rest of the pieces and parts for it are just "chevy big block" from that era. 427 is a nice engine, generally tighter strokes mean more lifespan for the engine (less wear), and easier to get torque (at the expense of some HP in most cases). You can get 400+ hp and 400+ ft-lbs of torque out of that beast without having to go too radical, or adding turbos/superchargers. Great lump to have under the hood, and it should last a good long time.

If you don't want it, I'll pay freight to get it here...
