That was stock stroke. I did not skimp on parts or machine work. And I was well under 10K. But the motor suffered two flat cams. That is when I turned to Craft for a Pond 482 Aluminum short block. Best move I ever made. I still have well under 15 K in my motor but I did the assembly other than the short block. Major difference in feel from a 427 to a 482 motor. Of course the cam can play a major role in that.
