Re: 427 in a 67-72

You won't ever find a LS under the hood of my stuff.
I'm glad for the LS mania thing!!!, it's like the small block thing tht started in 1955. Ya don't see ANYONE putting a piece of crap triton V8 in ANYTHING!!!

I'm working towards my 68, it came w/ a 396, still have all parts and pieces. The frame brackets and mounts are different for a big block, but I believe the small block stuff will bolt up and work fine, on a big block, as long as you keep the parts together...

The only thing I'd be worried about is the drive shaft carrier bearing. My 68 had a much better designed bearing and housing, not that 2 bolt mickey mouse deal that most 67-72's have.
I plan to install something even, better, using a 73-up carrier type bearing.

As mentioned by others, brackets and pulleys for abig block will be needed, The car stuff would work, Some look the same as what came on my 396.

The interchangeabilty of Chevrolet parts is incredible, life's too short to work on a ford, and you'd need a supply of antidepressants to fool with MOPAR crap!!!
Know what MOPAR stands for???
