    What you're looking at is a 427 CID stroker engine. I have put it together over the last two years and it is wicked. I can't wait to get it on a dyno. I hope to make around 500+ horsepower and still make it to the grocery store on occasion in record time!

    Nice! Are you leaving that air cleaner on it? I ask because of your other post about the hood scoops. Are you planning on directing air from the hood scoop directly into the carb?

    I am going to use this air cleaner. I like the look of it and I am going to relocate the battery and place some chrome funnels and the induction hoses in the nitch on both sides of the radiator. I love the idea of cold air induction and it looks too cool to me. Thanks for the compliments everybody.
