Total Timing For 427/351

[BIG529]

Have a 427 Windsor and don't the the cam grind except that it is a hyraulic roller. Was wondering what total time and initial time should this size engine be running?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

probably about 32 degrees

In our 427 Windsors we set initial timing at @14 to 16 deg. and total @ around 33 to 34 deg. Hope this helps

Thanks for the response, it does help. I have timed the engine 17 initial and 33 total. Haven't road tested yet, will let you know.

Don't know what the initial timing is set, but Keith has got mine set at 38 degrees total. 427 stroker, aluminum block, aluminum AFR 225 heads, 10.5 compression ratio, pump gas motor

it depends on the motor, 30-34 is the expected range, with many guys running about 34. We used to do some really hot small blocks that only liked 30 total.
