Gentlemen, I'm in the research phase on this build. Im looking to set a 427ci up in two distinct stages:
-Natural aspiration at first, but build the engine in preparation for dual carburetors and a supercharger. So basically I want to plan everything that goes in this engine to be built to run that supercharger optimally. That means the right cam, valve arrangements, pulleys, pumps, all forged internals, cylinder compression and everything. But I want to run the engine at this phase, without the supercharger installed. For this stage I dont really care what HP it makes I just want to get it going, break it in.
-Then add the supercharger. the whole setup needs to be reliable as possible, but I'm not afraid of wearing it out & tearing it down in a couple years, once I know how it will behave.
The final HP goal is between 800-900HP. I want it to be as quick of a throttle response as possible, and get to 6500rpm, if not higher, comfortably.
Is this a good base engine to do that: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/...tYLuX_dIUme5Bb44mlIswDefmjOAVjDRoC30sQAvD_BwE
And if not, why? What are some better options out there? Used? Sleeve some old cylinders on something else?
Dont be afraid to be real with me, I want to learn.
