Thx all here is what I have:
Tremec 600 5-speed/3:46 gears
Ford Racing Alum Block 427
11.0:1 compression ratio (nominal)
Ford Racing aluminum 4-bolt main block M-6010-Z351
Forged Mahle pistons
Forged steel H-beam connecting rods
Solid Roller Cam
Intake duration 258? @ .050" intake
Exhaust duration 260? @ .050" exhaust
Valve lift intake .644"
Valve lift exhaust .653"
Roller Rocker Arms (1.65:1 ratio)
Rocker arm stud girdle
Double Roller Timing Chain M-6268-B302
Forged steel crankshaft
High performance rear sump oil pan
CNC ported Ford Racing aluminum "Z" cylinder heads M-6049-Z304P with 2.08"intake valves and 1.60" exhaust valves

The car runs like a dream but lower RPM's (under 1800 approx) cruising the car "bucks a bit unless I give it some pedal, say in my neighborhood trying to do 25-30 mph in 3rd it bucks but 2nd its fine-I probably need to get used to driving in lower gears. Its been a while since I drove a hot rod so prob need to get used to it. My Corvette did the same thing at times but that was an automatic 700R4 that I put in a '71 Stingray with a 400HP small block-the overdrive was alway bucking if I didnt manually control it.

This 427 is pretty lumpy at 900 RPM's at 1000 it seems perfect. Again I've only had it 2 days and need to learn the nuances, thx.
