Well, BDR 687's block ('66 428) and heads Edelbrock 427 w/2.19" intake and 1.71" ex) are at the only machine shop in this area that I trust. The next step is the rotating assy. The block will have to go .030 over and I don't want the machinist to have to clearance the block. That being said, the displacement is an open subject as is the makeup and vender for the assy. I'll be going with a hyd. roller cam and probably won't spin it over 5.5K so I don't think a forged steel crank and H beam rods are needed. I do have to admit that both of those score high on the CDI scale though (Chicks Dig It.
) I do want some reliability and would like to read some members experiences that would be germane to my quest for snake power.
Thanks, Steve
