Thanks for the reply, my intention is to use this car as a weekend cruiser and make a couple of drag runs. The chassis of the car is setup for road racing and I havent ruled that out either. I currently have a 390 in the car , which runs well but its not a 2 four 427. I would like to have a motor in the 500 hp reliable catagory. The car has a Tremac 5speed and a 411 9" rear. I want a motor that sounds throaty(everyone that hears it must know there is a strong motor in her) and responds very well. Currently I have a Dove 2X4 intake with Holley 600 carbs for my 427So .The motor has the roller setup in it so thats why I figured to stay with it. The springs and Dove roller rockers are in great shape but the machine shop found 4 roller lifters with small cracks , so they recommended replacing the set. So should I forgo the roller setup for a hydrolic setup? I plan on putting 2-4000 miles a year on my machine.Thanks Olaf
