Dart SBF "427" for sale - Houston

[LnL]

$9,500

I've sent a note out to the Houston Cobra Club members, but thought I'd post it here for those who are not on that e-mail list.

This motor has been in my Falcon station wagon, not in our F5 Cobra. It has driven cross-country in the Hot Rod Power Tour (4,400 miles) with no problems at all. It has MAYBE 9,000 total miles on it since it was completed. It runs fine on pump premium, even did fine 91 octane I had use while on the Power Tour. In my 4,000 pound race-weight wagon, on pump gas, it has ran as quick at 11.teens at 121mph in the quarter mile - just imagine what it could do in a Cobra!

Some specs on the motor:

- 4.125" x 4.000" stroke (427.65 cubic inches)
- Dart Iron Eagle Sportsman (part number 31355235) block (about $500-650 more expensive than the Dart SHP block).
- AirFlow Research (AFR) 225 cylinder heads, with upgraded Manley Nextek springs and titanium retainers
- Compression ratio set mild at 10.4:1 (probably 30 to 50hp to be gained by milling heads to obtain 11.5). It has never shown a single hint of detonation on 93 octane pump gas.
- Dan DaVinci HP1000 custom carburetor
- Edelbrock Super Vic intake
- Probe shaft-mount roller rockers (1.7:1 ratio)
- Custom Bullet/UltraDyne solid roller cam (lash holds very consistently)
- Forged 6.250" H-beam connecting rods, forged crankshaft and pistons (rated for 800hp)
- "Stock" type distributor which has been converted into magnetic pickup (like an MSD billet) and recurved.

I've sold the car, but the buyer did not have the funds to include the motor, so I'm keeping the motor and wishing to sell it separately. The motor is still currently in the car, and available for inspection. I will probably be pulling the motor around July 28 or 29, if it does not sell before then.

Please e-mail me at vcxzrewq AT yahoo.com and feel free to ask the Houston Cobra Club members about me (I haven't been very active in the last few years, but several of them still know me fairly well).

Thank you,
Lee Atkinson
