Anyone ever put a 427 in their 67-72? Pics!
Hi guys, haven't posted in a while.
I'm getting so fed up with this 250... I've dumped way too much money into it and had never-ending issues, only to have it now start dieseling and backfiring through the carb, as well as my headers not sealing properly against the head even with the $50 Remflex gasket sandwiched in between. Any advice there with any of that? So, in a fit of frustration, I hopped on Craigslist to see if there was anything available for relatively cheap that I could throw in my truck... And I found a completely stock, looks like fairly recently gone through (it's painted lime green with black valve covers) 427 - for $400. Everything is there but the intake manifold and headers, he's even got a brand-new Edelbrock carb sitting there with it. Ran when pulled, no smoke, no knock. Casting # is 3999294, according to websites it's a tall deck, 4-bolt main. So... should I jump on it? I want to know: - would it take custom engine mounts? - what headers would fit? - can I just pick up a cheap 454 intake manifold and throw it on top? - would the New Process NP435 that's in my truck right now bolt up to it and hold the power it's making? Thanks in advance!
