After the engine rebuilt, with new rings and valves the engine runs incredibly well. Plugs are light tan, engine revs up to 6500 in a blink and response is INSTANTLY. WOW !!!!!!A real race engine the 427 is now.
It idles perfectly and you can drive in heavy trafic all day without the slightest hitch.
But the tuning still goes no. Will try 42mm chokes as soon as I get a set and try my way up to the maximum, which is 45mm.
But first I have to take the engine out of the car again because a con rod bolt got loose and ruined the bearing. So new rod, new bearing and new grinding of the crank.
Keeping busy, you see.
