LOVE those 427's! Nice quick revving motors. Would love to build one for an older truck 79 era.

I had a 93 K3500 w/a 454 and NV4500. Sold it after I got the 05. I still have the trust rusty 76 GMC 3/4 ton w/a 454/400 combo.:thumbsup:

I'm finally getting the 3 598'' motors in my boat,got the first one in today only took 3 guys 2 hrs ,,now 2 to go,then 3 sets of headers to go and wiring,then I'm done

Why would a boat need 3 598cid engines?

 

[dmaxx3500]

because its 42' and weighs 12,500lbs and goes 100+

 

[WarWagon]

because its 42' and weighs 12,500lbs and goes 100+

And it takes a lot more power to go 100+ on water than land.

454 Big block Chevy in my jet boat. Just parted with it. Would hit the rev limiter then start moving. Defined violent acceleration where you left your thoughts behind... Not that the open headers would have let you hear yourself think anyway.

454 in my 84 k30, stock for now but thinking of tearing it apart and making it a stroker this winter.

 

[dmaxx3500]

you can put a 1/4'' stroke in it ,you'll get 496'' ,just don't put an ''RV'' cam in it,, try a LS6-LS7-L88 cam with the bigger cube's you can get away with these cams,, Ive built 496 strokers for the trucks to haul these big boats around for years ,with a good set of aluminum heads you can get 450-500hp and a ton of torque ,and still get ok fuel mileage-if you can keep the revs down,,try to find a 4L80 [but try to get one with -out the electronics of the 4L80E,because you will need a computer to run it][its really a turbo 400 w/overdrive] tranny,out of a 1 ton truck or van,

whats wrong with the rv style cam? build would be aiming for low-mid range power, towing as well as offroading, and if i can get up to 15mpg that would be great. fuel economy is 11-12mpg normal driving before the carb needed to be rebuilt, 35x15" tires with stock gearing and a th400.

i'll start up a thread on it when i get back to the states and begin the build, dont want to thread jack.
