I don't have a dyno sheet, but will post when I get it dynoed (chassis dyno obviously) probably this spring. If it matters, my builder (Dwight Powell), who has been building these engines since 1968, said it would make about 500hp. He has been building 427/428 engines for long enough that I wouldn't doubt him, but there are a lot of knowledgeable folks on this forum that will have different opinions.

For comparison purposes, I have an NOS 427 SO block and steel crank (standard bore and stroke), NOS medium riser heads (not ported), NOS LeMans rods and TRW pistons (11:1), "B" cam, blue thunder intake, Holley 750.
