Who has experience with a 427 Tall Deck
I have a 1968 GMC Dump Truck that I am going to scrap.
The 427 in the dump truck runs and has never had any problems. Options are to either pull the motor and sell it for a core, or keep it, strip it down and in the next couple of years build a big cubic inch stroker motor (496, 540 or 596) to go into my chevelle. The 427 is a true tall deck motor, with a 4 bolt main and a forged crank. Does anybody have any experience with a tall deck block & build? Thanks Brian

Keep it and build it, I built a 527 out of one a few years back. Only down side is I have to give nod to about 20 prius owners that are saving enough fuel to feed it
 .Edited 527 not 572.

I dont think you will be able to get a 572 out of a 427 block(bore size) but you can definitely build a 496 and I will say that is PLENTY on the street.
I just finished my build and am still tuning it and I cant get traction anywhere below 45 |

Yeah then just get it sonic tested. You will definitely be on the edge though, but in all honesty you probably wont hurt a thing on it. My next build will be a 4.5 inch bore block, 540 rolls off the tongue very well I have my badged as a 427 and when I walk off and leave blown corvettes they cant understand why  What kind of heads and cam are you going to run in it? |

Keep us posted, there was 2 of those for sale out of school busses. I ask my engine guy about then and he said it's not worth messing with for me, Granted I like the total radical and twisting one to the moon so maybe he meant bad option for what I like.
Also said something about heads, intake etc. On the other hand I would love a pump gas motor in 67 corvette. This race fuel sucks! Would love to do a 10-11 to1 compression motor. Big nasty cam and ride, as it is now the mighty was 327 is over kill unless fuel doesn't hurt ya. Last time I drove it she guzzled 15 gallons in 100 miles and fuel $7.99 a gallon. Takes all the fun out, but I do like POing all the neighbors lol |
