This started out as an overheating problem but when the heads came off it revealed major problems. They are able to fix the Edelbrock heads by replacing several valves & springs, the intake and carburator are good. So what I seem to have is a 427 so with 2 holes in the side of the block, a broken tab for the bellhousing in the drivers side, a couple of cylinders have some of the metal broke out at the base of the cylinder. If the block is not cracked, I have a quote of $2,200.00 for 8 sleeves and new pistons. It is supposed to have a 428 Cobra Jet crank and I plan on using it. My cam and lifters are toast so I need new ones. What I'm looking for are suggestions for rebuilding it. I should end up with 427 so at standard bore, 428 Cobra Jet crank, Edelbrock heads, the pistons are supposed to be 10:1, Edelbrock mid riser manifold with Holley 750 carb, Edelbrock water pump, MSD distributor. Whatkind of cam and lifters would go with this. I do mostly leisure driving with occasion leg spasms that make the tires spin. What kind of cam and hydraulic lifters, and rods would work here? Thanks. Chas
