First Sounds of my Homebuilt 427 Stroker

[Mountain Ram]

What is the ticking you can hear??

What exhaust are you planning to run?

I am surprised you could start it at 35 BTDC (SPOUT out)... With my 347 build and 30lb injectors, its running a little rich- not burn your eyes rich, but you can smell it. The computer tuning should take care of that.

Now you need to do as I did, take it for a cruise in your neighborhood with open headers!!

I listened to the video, and the engine a few times and, from what I can hear over the engine, I don't hear any ticking. On the video, I think the exhaust sounds a little like ticking at times due to the open headers and "popping" but that's it. Can't be sure though until I get some mufflers on it.

I'm using a local shop and having dual mandrel runs with an X pipe and dual Dynomax VTs.

It was rough to start it at 35, but it did start.

Got it all finished up.....well, at least enough to get it to the exhaust shop tomorrow. Even got the hood to close without more modifications. Drove it up and down the street a few times to test out the newly ViperBuilt D20 and C4. Working good so far.

Nice dude! How'd it feel to drive it after so long?

Good! It just left for the exhaust shop a while ago.
