Well guys here is my current issue. I purchased a 427 SO from a previous racer a few months ago. It took me a couple of months to gather the parts needed to de-tune this beast to a streetible motor. I gathered all my stuff up and went for a little trip to my machine shop(2 hours away)and upon close inspection of the block realized that the last guy poured a cement product in the lower 1/2 of the block to stabilize it. George Anderson was nice enough to explain this process to me . I know the best thing is to replace the block and move on but several people have told me that the motor wont run that hot and for me to go ahead with the planned work. The block needs to be bored. I just dont want to throw money away and end up with a nonusable street motor.I dont know if it helps but my current 390 runs at a steady 200-210. I have a aluminum rad and several electric fans, edelbrock waterpump , 2 4barrell aluminum Dove intake. What do you think? Boat anchor or not? Olaf
