That 'KC 527ci' looks sensational. Detail has my motor looking basic.

.. will need to get under my hood/bonnet and do some tidy up detail work.

We are very limited with cubic inches here as the registration office (our DMV) and our engineers are impossible to deal with once you start getting over 351ci.

We end up stroking to get the larger capacity. Robnel who appear to be 'no longer' did manage to get a number of big block cars through registration, but thats now finished here (they also appear to have shut down).

.. its now all small block Efi Mustang 302 etc. Some Cobra builders and Street Rod builders are going for the LS1 motors.

Hence the reference to the "Dark side" on the Australian Forum...

Just my $.02 worth..

Bernie
