Hi this engine is 427 cubic inche same size as the original engine for that
year that is why this car made so much sense to do. Injection is the only
way to go. Good luck with your 1982 hope to your youtube of your car done
soon. Remember you can always buy new tires.
I wonder if the builder considered the GMP ZL1. It's the ball park same
price (very roughly) puts out similar power, but is a bit closer to the
period. I'm not a purist, just a question. It's perhaps not quite as cool,
but I'm putting a Heads and Cam LS1 into my 82'.
Hi, I am looking to do something very similiar. Do you have any build info
you would share? billybigblock "at" gmail "dot" com or my website is
musclerides "dot" com Thanks
No its not uploaded to impress anybody, its a clip for my site as this was
the first spin after adjusting the carb and it reminds me of a good day and
how it is to drive this car, on the days where the rain is pouring down. As
for the speed, there are strict speed limits on this specific piece of road
and even though I'd love to floor it, I also appreciate my drivers license.
I'll see if I can get some footage on a closed road - Perhaps that will
have a better chance of raising an eyebrow :)
I love how people are saying this thing sounds like a
327...motherfuckers...do you own this car or even know what a real 67 327
sounds like? have you stood next to this very car to make any sort of
judgement cal...FUCK NO! get off your high horses and praise this man for
saving a goddamned legend of a sports car...hell it has 454 thats
cool...not the original engine but it sounds nasty as hell...wish I had
it...props to you man for keeping it alive and DRIVING the damn thing
Honestly, dont listen to these negative morons. While the "protouring" 67
is a wonderful car, you have a groundpounder!!, there is something real
special about a carb'd motor. Enjoy YOUR car the way you see fit, dont
listen to these jealous people. I hate people who get on here and critise
peoples sh*t, get a life, or a job and buy a 67 and throw a z06 motor in!,
awesome but dont critise this beast... End of rant
Well,one advantage his have over yours,he have a modern 427 that doesn't
run hot and fuel injected,yours a powerful as it is,all of the big blcks do
run hot and that was one of the big concerns along with tuning 3 two barrel
carbs. Sorry if I had a 427 I take it out for the newer 427 505 or 600
horses with a modern 6spd trans.
I haved owned two 66 Corvettes (one 327/300 and one 327/350 horse with
factory side exhaust). Not trashed cars but award winners. However, I did
not see this Vette do anything in the video but rev up to about 2700 rpm
cruising. Is the side exhaust tone suppose to impress me alone? Can get
those mufflers to fit any car.
Yep! It sure is a wonderful vehicle and there's definitely many hours of
work in that one. That aside, I can't see how it makes my car less worthy
of being featured on youtube. They both have their place here and even
though they have the same body it's very different cars.
Check out the guy above you with his 1967 Z06 427 small block motor with
fuel injection! Now that car raises my eyebrows! Well over 600 horses with
modern everything! Not old, outdated inefficient carburation and
transmission. Sure not original but bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@MrProComedian It's a 454 crate engine. The sound might not be perfect as
it is from a camera mic, but unless someone swapped the engine just before
I went on that ride (and I hope not :)), it was a 454 I had in it at the
time.
The badge is there though it's not visible in the video... And it sure does
have sidepipes. At the time of the video it had 4" Super Comp Hooker Pipes,
but now they are back to the original 2½" factory correct pipes.
That sounds like a 327, why did you put the big block hood on a 327 car? I
know a very few came out of the factory like that but there was no stinger
stripe on the hood of those few 327 cars with big block hoods.
so which way is leaner fuel mixture??? i need a little bit of carb
adjusting done to my Dodge..its an edelbrock carb the guy slapped on before
he sold me the car..needs to run leaner. so left?
