427 BBC questions

[George]

This is my first post on the forum. I have a Goodwrench 427 tall deck with low miles on it, it was just used very little for many years shortly after the new engine was put in, the truck was a 1977 C65. Anyways it ran awesome in the truck so I pulled it this weekend with the plan to throw it into a G body after I get the engine built up. So what do you guys know about this engine, has anyone used the same 427 BBC for a build? I was thinking I should put a new cam in it and get rid of the stock Holly with a governor on it. What CFM carb should I use, 750? And what kind of luck have you guys had with what cams? I was also thinking of using a tunnel ram intake with single carb, I think I will need some spacers to make it work on the tall deck. Also the oil pan on it now holds 8 qts, will I need a new pan. Thanks

JUNK !!!!!! WASTE OF TIME AND $$$$$$$$

IMO


They are not good in street cars and cost way to much for a street build.

The heads are junk with tiny ports.

A normal BBC intake will not fit on that engine without a set of intake spacers.

You will need different connecting rods and different pistons.

You will need to use the distributor that came with that tall deck or buy a slip collar one.

If your building a track engine then go for it.

If your building a street car you are going to waste alot of $$$$.

There is a reason that stock tall decks sell cheap.
