My 427 is Home

[Ray Barnes]

I currently have a 69 SS with all numbers matching thing. I was getting a little tired of always worring about hurting the engine. So in the back of my mind, I kicked the idea around of swapping the motor for something I wouldn't have to worry about and have some fun. I always wanted 427 but with the prices of a good core are getting a little out of reach and hard to find. So the idea of making one out of a 454 block sounded like a good idea and take all my components of my 396 to keep the cost down,that was the plan.
Well doing my morning Craigslist surf I found a 427. I picked it up last night. I'm pretty excited. It was everything I was looking for. I'm not sure what direction to take the motor.
It would be nice to find nice aluminum heads, intake, carb. and roller it out but that's not going to happen. due to finances. If you guys have any suggestions for keeping the cost within reason and put a good strong street 427 together...I'm listening. Looking for opinions on the heads, cam selection, intake, carb,etc. I plan to leave the trans and rear end alone.

I'm going to blame Tony from Flint for keeping the 427 number bouncing around in my head. Damn that gasser and Nova
