I see my mistake. I plan to buy a couple of guides on forced induction engine design so I can really grasp...just how shortsighted I was in posting this lol

Thank you for this Howard, Im new here but I appreciate how much you put into every conversation you have.

Hi there, Im still learning...but what is up with this engine? I thought 427's naturally aspirated top out around 500HP or so...throw in some error if you want to but how is a 2500HP engine possible with the same displacement, and same stroke? I get that they can vary, but even 2000HP is hard...

Hi Kim, is this car lowered at all, or is that the stock height from RCR?

I understand I think I just worded it badly. If I wanted a supercharger and the engine shop I went to for it said I need to change things in my engine to have it run smoothly and at its maximum potential, they could ask to change the stroke. Change stroke changes the displacement, which changes...

Hey Jeff thanks for the feedback; yeah so I imagined the same thing: reduce ratio by changing the head/adding one of those extension plate things, or changing the stroke. I know that means perhaps a rougher running engine, and I dont want that either...but I keep thinking with the right build...

This kinda thing is makin me nervous...I want to look forward to a purchase in about a year or 18 months--purchasing engine first--and if things are slowly deteriorating over there who knows what things will look like in 2025 and beyond.

Thats probably true lol--but in the event that I did -re-dress this engine for a supercharger configuration...isnt dropping the compression ratio just one of many steps on the list to change when I perform the upgrade? It seems like it can be addressed along with the host of other things that...

So I'm approaching my timeline to buy engine and transmission. I have NOT ordered the car yet. I think Im pretty set on Graziano based on conversations with Fran. (I dont want to go above 1000HP at any point during the life of the car). My personal preference is to get a 427 in some...

This is sweet--I would def want this level of features on the car if I ever hope to get my wife to approve of it lol

Likely a chevy 427ci, just trying to find a pathway to get one built or build myself that has all forged internals already, incase I ever want to put a blower on, or put it in a different vehicle.

So this ad says "LS7"...and all forged already. Would this fit in the car?

Yeah I backed off on the idea of going higher than a 427. 1000HP Graziano is the limiter for me.

Thanks guys, I'll stick with a 427. I will likely just build it myself and go with all forged internals, get it running naturally aspirated and then decide exactly how I want to finish it. Hoping Superlite doesnt go out of business by then :oops:

Hi Stephan, How did this thing feel when you needed the acceleration, at various RPMs? Did you find yourself favoring a certain part of the powerband, and if so what situations?

Checking back in on this thread...Im pulling a couple of thousands together at a time over here, and seeing options show up online for larger engines than the LS7 / 427ci variants. Anyone see a glaring red flag going as high as say, a 496ci? Myself and my family has a little experience with...

Hey Michael, Any bites? And you said youre basing the sale in Oklahoma?

*Without major modification. Also, are there any examples of customers doing a supercharged AND dual carburetors on top of all that? Even if they remove/cut the rear window...is this something that is feasible, or does everyone have to go fuel injected & low profile corvette style intakes...

Ok maybe not 4th of July but this thing is still gonna scream! I love going back to this video every once in awhile

Hey Ted, Any chance you: 1. Have a spec sheet on the LS7 rebuild 2. Will be posting your track times with both the LS376 and the LS 427, so we can see the progression?
