[60-66 Nut]

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but a truck 427 is not the same as a car 427. They are big blocks, but they are made especially for heavy-duty use, much like the 366 truck engine. They are very strong engines, designed for low rpm and high-torque. They have smaller intake valves and sodium-filled exaust valves, 4-ring pistons and the very early ones had timing gears instead of a chain. I have also been told that they have a taller deck height than a passenger 427, but I cannot confirm this. If it is true, then passenger intake manifolds would not fit without decking the block. They will fit regular Chevy mounts, just like any other small or big block, and regular flywheels should fit too. I guess somebody could build one up, but it might cost alot more than a car engine.
