Oh no it would be a car engine, unless I could find a tall deck , a tall deck just a bare block then build it the way I want, any kits to build a a 427 crank rods and pistons and everything or do I have to find everything by it's self? Should I stroke it to a 496 or what. Will the 67-72 motor stands fit the tall deck, and tx firefighter- the bellhousing is all the same? I thought small block-I6 were the same and big block was different. What factory transmission would hold up behind it, I was thinking richmond ROD but I think I would want a muncie would it hold?
