I'm looking into using a BB as I've been offered a servicable original 427 side oiler.
Are there any major issues I should be aware of if contemplating using a Big Block ?
for example:
- Will a 427 BB still mate to a ZF gearbox ok ?
- will the ZF be up to the job ?
(I think trying to get a hewland is out of the question)
I have read that the extra weight from the big block makes it more practical to use a small block motor most of the time. I just want to evaluate my options before I jump in or out of this 427 though.
Cheers,
John.
