FORD????? What are you doin mentioning ford. haha. I am just kidding. I have had my eye on a old mach one that is just collecting pine needles. I can picture it in my mind every time i see it. The one car I have wanted before the company even became popular was a Factory Five 427 roadster or...

All great advice. If i go with anything i will go with the block from powerhouse automotive warehouse. Of course i will look more into it, but it sounds great. I am not rushing into anything. I already have a beast of a 357. This will be a summer build and then a winter swap. Whatever i do i...

Brian, I have not recieved my P.A.W. magazine yet, but i have been told that there is a short block that is sold for 3,700$. It is a 400 small block set up as 426 cubic inches. It is called a super gorilla small block. Whether or not it has splayed mains im not sure. I will have to look into...

Good point, Retarding the timing would sorta defeat the purpose. You can make good hp and tq with 10.5 comp.

I thought that most new vehicles have roller setups and most of them arent dropping like flies. You have to admit that rollers do make a lot of hp, but more than likely i will stick with a normal cam. I have heard your point before and its a good one. What would be a good set...

thanks thats exactly what i have been thinking, i mean i knew that unless fuel injection just made a huge difference that you could run more compression. thanks for the comments. T

Jack, I had a reply earlier on this topic where the work has already been done for you . the short block cost 3700$ which is not bad at all. One of the members on here sent it to me.(Bullitt)-"Super Gorilla small block. It can be had in 420 (.030 over) or 426 cubic inches (.060 over). The bore...

HEY TACOED Yeah you told me about vbp so i looked into it. much appreciated info. and yep i do play ball at south.

Inferno, The kit that mid america is by VBP(vettebrakes). Coilovers are really good, but i think that the monospring must be doing something right if it is in all the new vettes(and the new vettes are puttin out some #'s). I also dont care about ride quality. I just want my vette to handle...

I posted one or two threads about more cubic inches. I have been told that you can get 427 cubic inches / or 426 ci out of a 400 small block with the proper modifications. i want to get more ci out of the small block because of weight reduction reasons. Price is also a concern of mine, but i...

When i was redoing the rotating assembly i wanted to change the compression, so i installed 10.25:1 compression pistons with 72cc combustion chambers. i wanted 11:1 but the guy over the phone said that it was too much comp. without buying high octane gas. i can buy 93 octane gas here which im...

picture didnt work

69mw So you installed the performance pluse suspension system?. well keep me updated on how it handles. i was planning on doing autocross and roadcourse racing. So i need the stiffest best handling kit possible.

18x10 up front, 18x12 Is that it. haha. good gosh. Yeppppppppp that will do pretty nicely. I have 17x8 up front and in the back. centerline. i just had them put on last year around october or so and then the FIRE. so i didnt get to enjoy them much. i want to see if the guy will let me take the...

Bullitt and stingray 74cc Thanks for the info on the 400 sb. If you dont mind , if you find out anymore please let me know.and as for my cooling problems. I am leaning more towards a bad engine setup. I mean i had so much trouble with the cam and components matching up. it was extremely hard to...

VBP This is what i am doing this summer. I am gonna buy the corvette performance plus suspension from VBP. 2grand and handling like a freak. As far a suspension systems go that isnt that bad. Most late model suspension systems can push more than 2 grand easily. I mean 2 grand for a almost...

69 my way, Are you planning on putting some more tread to fill those fender flares. Some nice racing rims and tires would look great.

Thanks alot I would just like to tell you that you have a sweet corvette. Black is the best. You have some interesting body work done and i am sure you enjoy the 427. I am looking for a 427 small block, for a motorswap this summer. I am planning on getting the heads worked on my 357 and have...

HEY How much is a Dewitt setup. water pump is fine. it is a stewart components. it is new just like everything else(new). one thing you said struck my interests though. most 76 corvettes had long water pumps. so when i called to order my water pump, i said i need a stewart components water pump...
