Hi guys(and gals),

It's been 16 months since I started the new motor project and I finally got the completed motor home yesterday. There were some issues with the original design of making it a 436 and had to switch it to a 427. Final numbers came out good although not what I originally wanted. The dyno test was done in Boston where the air is thicker and damper than here in Az. so the performance could be better.
The horsepower came out at 940 and more impressive is the torque which topped out at 815. The torque curve is very flat and at 3000 rpms it's at 718 and at 6700 rpms it's at 815!! Should be a handful to drive on the street. Here's a few pics:
