Hi guys,

Newbie here. I have a 69 Camaro SB SS clone and have been thinking about putting a 427 in it. Can someone please tell me where I can find build specs and part numbers for a 427? Which engine books to buy, web sites to go to? I need to educate myself on the 427 before I make the leap. The pic below is my 69. Thanks guys
build your own home grown version. 454 block 396 crank 427 piston mine made 622 hp on dyno.

Sweet piece!.

You'd be best to first check in on member 427King.. From basic 427's to an original MN Copo engine, he's often got more than a few available..

Here's a link to one of last weeks ads..

Are you wanting a "clone" of a specific 427 (L72, L88, L71, etc)...or just wanting the feel of a 427? If it's the latter, just find a 454 block out of about anything and throw a 3.76 crank in it and call it done...then bolt on the appropriate exterior goodies.

I found these 2 crate motors, probably couldn't afford the first one but the 2nd looks interesting. I guess i'm looking to clone a 427 that would have come either in a COPO or a Yenko or a Motion car, the power of the 427 is a big plus !!!

As for the cast iron motor..you can build your own for less...430 hp seems a little mild given the modern heads and roller camshaft they are probably using the same heads and cam from the ZZ454 engine....as for the aluminum job...why can't they say what the horsepower is exactly...doesn't GM have a dyno it would be cool to have one..but I'm sure they will be pricey.

I'm thinking for about 1/2 the price you could build a bbc to stomp the fire out of that GMMP crate engine...
