Doing this one as a follow-up engine for a local KY guy. If you followed this build,
Lykins Motorsports 347SBF Build... , this FE belongs to the same guy. Lucky guy.
The small block was built for an FFR Daytona Coupe and the 427 is being built for a FFR Cobra.
There weren't many stipulations on this build, just that it came in at around 427 cubes and it was a little peppy on the cam side, with little to no maintenance. So...the recipe consists of:
*Pond cast iron block, 4.280" bore
*Factory $ crankshaft, fresh at .010/.010
*Scat H-beam FE rods
*Diamond forged pistons, 10:1 SCR, 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 ring pack
*Pond aluminum CNC ported heads
*Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
*Bullet solid flat tappet cam, 243/249 @ .050", .620" lift, 109 LSA
*T&D street rockers
*Refinished/rebuilt Holley 750 carburetor
Should be fun, and I will post build pics and results as always.
I'm having a little contest with a forum member, Rick Bagley. I built his 427 several months back, which made 476 hp and 489 lb-ft of torque. If this build makes 525 hp, he's buying me a cheeseburger.
