427 Stroker

I wish I did too. Trying to learn.

 

[rcmbronc]

Got the pan and heads on. Getting closer.

 

[bronkenn]

That's purdy. Oh, and your garage is too clean.

 

[markw]

Yeah, no kidding on both accounts! Very nice all the way around.

 

[rcmbronc]

Headers came in. Waiting fro some top end parts. Headers are from Mad Dog headers.

Problem is after looking at the clean motor I decided I need to pull the body off the frame and give it a good clean and paint. Did that the other day now just have to get at that part of the project.

This thread makes me want to move ahead with the 446 stroker I've been accumulating parts for. The block is just sitting on the floor, taunting me...

Awesome build. Do you have plans to dyno it after you are finished?

 

[rcmbronc]

I would like to but dont think I will find some one close to do it affordably.

 

[Dlish]

looks great. valve covers look tall tho, you have clearance at drivers firewall and brake set up? Mine was really close to the firewall.

(I know you had 351 in there before, maybe its an optical illusion without the manifold, just looks really tall)

How is getting to the header bolts being they use the factory narrow holes? Look nice!!

 

[rcmbronc]

Not sure about the clearance yet. I will find out when i get it installed. They seem about the same height as my old Ford Motorsports covers and they fit but not sure yet. If they dont then I can use the older ones.

Header bolts look OK. I would have preferred to use the larger spacing but they were not open to changing that. I suppose I could redrill the flanges. I still have to verify they fit with my coil over hoops.

Any updates?

 

[rcmbronc]

Got the stud girdles installed and the throttle body came. In this process I decided to take the body off the frame and get a nice coat of paint on the frame. Got it close to painting so hopefully start putting it back together.

Trying to decide which EFI ECU to get. Looking at the MS3Pro EVO or maybe Holley HP system. Would love to hear suggestions. Also thinking about individual coils for the ignition but not sure. Headers are a tight fit because of my shock towers. Need just a little modifying but easier than a custom set.

 

[markw]

Be sure to get an ECU that will work with EDIS8 if you want to go coil ignition.

 

[markw]

Also check out 64bit Tuning for parts.

 

[rcmbronc]

Why not a Holley Dual sync dizzy with a blank cap and then using LS coils.

 

[markw]

Several ways to skin the cat. I used all Ford parts but the coils which are Dodge Neon. I'd use whatever is the most simple and reliable. Mine will be reliable but it wasn't simple. At all......

Looking Good, Brutha!

Looking forward to the first fire!

Aloha

Have you installed your drivetrain. I’m curious as to the header fitment. Your rig is looking good. Keep the updates coming.

I've been very pleased with the Holley HP system I used on recent build. Probably the biggest PITA was figuring out how to integrate a GM stepper-motor IAC. The HP will run the Ford PWM type too, though. I just had some reasons to want to use the GM device on mine.
