You can not go wrong with a Keith Craft motor
A couple of years ago Mike Lane bought a 428 stroked to 461 for his Hurricane Cobra. Last year he build a Coupe and bought a KC 408 motor. Mike loves the motors and the service he gets from Keith.
Last May, Mike Lainhart had me to pull his 427 s.o. so he could have Keith rebuilt it. It came back a 487 with something like 618 hp 638 tq. Because I was working 7 - 10's for the last four months I was a little slow installing the motor into Lainhart's Cobra. But today I took it for a test drive. Alsome, great power, smooth, idles at 850-900, cruise in 5th gear at 1800 with no trailer hitch jerk, at one point I was in 5th at 1300 rpms with a "little" jerking, cranks easy, no leaks, just fantastic.
I going for another test run tomorrow. I've got to put a "LOT" of miles on it before Lainhart picks it up.
I'm a small block guy but this motor has impressed me.
Just call Keith and tell him what you want your motor to do and he will build you a great motor.
Way to go Keith, great engine
See ya'll on the road.
