Lykins Motorsports 427 High Riser Build
This one is for a Thunderbolt clone but still cool just the same. Block is a '63 427 center oiler, currently at a 4.240" bore size. Rotating assembly is a Fomoco $ crankshaft, with some Molnar FE rods and some domed Diamond pistons. Compression ratio will be 12:1.
Camshaft is a custom solid flat tappet, which has been ground with extra lobe taper and nitrided. Lifters are Trend tool steel lifters.
Cylinder heads are factory high riser heads that have been fitted with bronze valve guides, SI stainless valves, and have been ported. Intake manifold also has been ported. T&D street rockers for the high riser heads are on top.
Waiting on a few goodies and then will be able to finish assembly and dyno. Expecting about 600 hp out of it.
