Have you had any problems with the block? I'm looking to build me a small block 427 with a motown block and I have been reading all over the net that Motown blocks are no good.
My dad has a 1969 Corvette with a 1970 (i think) LT1 Small Block engine he built himself. Mako Shark blue and white colours with side pipes........ I cannot wait to drive that baby
@BikerRussell Cubic Inches isn't the determining factor between big and small blocks. They are actually two completely different block castings and the bore and stroke determine the displacement.
@BikerRussell A small block is a real "V" block, because the block stops at the bottom of the crank pulley. A big block is considered a "Y" block, because the block continues past the crank pulley, thus making a "Y" shape. that's the difference.
I can see why the big blog is associated with more cubic inches. The crankshaft could possibly be situated further and further down in the lower piece of the block allowing a longer stroke. Once the possibility of a greater stroke is present, the bore could be increased to accomodate the stroke. this would be apposed to the smallblock which does'nt allow such a possibly long stroke.
sounds awesome man! i have a 74 with the hooker pipes and a 327 out of a 66 with a four speed and the sound coming out of those pipes can't be beat! btw for some of the comments about the 427 sbc g.m never build them other than the new L.S 427 for the Z06, but like dpduval said plenty of times check out world products and you will find them in there!
@1974Alfa5Spd You can actually get a 454 small block but they're pretty expensive. Ive seen a 454 get CNC milled out of a solid aluminum block. 600+ hp out of a N/A small block is pretty badass.
You got a thumbs down for some reason, even though you're correct. I know of an engine builder who strokes 350's to a 408, even comes with a warranty.
You'd need some heavy block machining and clearancing to fit a crank that large, and some pretty long rods to overcome the piston side-load due to the sharp stroke angles, but it's possible, and has been done, and proven to work.
I wonder why people can't comprehend that. Oh well.
there ARE crate engines... dono why you got a thumbs down. If people don't believe it, they can google it. Look up Proformance 427 small block chevy. There is the proof... no more thumbs down.
John, no offence, but maybe Shesabute has owned a World Products engine before. I bought a 540 Merlin 600hp crate engine from World Products and I'd have to give some credit to Shesabutes' comment. Piece of junk. I threw it away after rebuilding it twice and a grand total of 6,000 street miles. Bill Mitchell is a criminal. I hope this recession has put him out of business.
sounds good apparently someone never heard of a 400ci small block being bored out i have the same ci motor in my 3rd gen. there some sick and torqy motors. nice set up sounds sick peace
its NOT just a 400 bored or stroked, read the owners comments over the past year. its an AFTERMARKET block, his is by WORLD, Dart makes em too (Im building a 454 SMALL BLOCK for my 77 vette...4.25 bore, 4.25 stroke in a tall deck DART block)
cubic inches have NOTHIN to do with big or small block, BB or SB refers to the outside dimensions of the thing, not displacment.
read up before commenting on crap... BTW, TO THE OWNER, sounds sweet, im lovin it
i red the discription b4 i commented i know it was a after market block you can also take a 400sbc mill a decking plate to make the deck hight taller and bore it to a 4.125 with a 4.25 stroke and you have tada a 427ci sbc i know the diff from a sb and bb. i guess b/c you assume iam 22 iam in to the import thing thank agen and cheack out my vid of my sbc 427ci in my 84 f-body
been doing a lot of research on that motor, just wondering if the enjoyment = the cost? I have a 1987 gta it would fit in rather nice Also is the trans and rear seem to be hanging in there?
Wow thats a pretty agressive cam.... how many horse is that pony puttin out? and do u have any problems with the rigidity of the body since its a soft top?
I haven't had it on the dyno, but it should be around 525-550. These cars always had some ridgidity issues, but I haven't seen anything worse with the high HP.
There is definitely a risk. You get used to moving around the pipes, but I definitely remind every passanger because it only takes a second to leave a nasty burn.
Did you buy a crate engine or build it yourself from the 427 block. I've done both in my 70 Vette, but with World Products Merlin line of 540 big blocks. Check out my vids. I have pictures of my car with red paint and a primer L88 hood - looks a lot like yours. Is that a cast iron block or aluminum?
I had the engine built for me by a race shop. I had many of the parts from my previous 406 and just decided to upgrade to the motown. I stayed with cast due to the cost of aluminum. I would have liked the weight savings though...
Very cool. My 600hp aluminum crate engine from Bill Mitchell Hardcore Racing (aka World Products) fell apart after 3,000 miles and they refused to warrantee it. The parts were good, but the assembly must have been done by a summer student or something. I had pistons actually contacting the crankshaft and a million other similar problems. I had a real engine shop do the rebuild and what a huge difference in power, performance and sound!
LMFAO... from 28 seconds to 42 seconds it sounds like a bunch of really fat people Tap dances all at the same time up on a big wooden stage just listen closely and then picture that image in your head and it matches perfectly lol
Very nice. I have a 66 C2 and I am seriously considering the world 427 SB in place of the tired 327. If I may ask, which cam are you using - and how do feel about the tradeoff between driveability and the high end performance and sound? Love the sound, but Iwas thinking more mild (Maybe 230 deg?). Your thoughts?
The driveability is definitely compromised a bit at low speed idling around town, but for me it's well worth the trade off. I think with a little fine tuning I could improve the driveability but for weekend use I can live with it. Besides, once I get into the mechanical secondaries I forget all about the everything else. These motors rock.
Thanks for the response, it really does help me to gage the cam to the actual engine response - it's kinda tough to get that relationship off the Comp Cams website.
They are the stock 15" x 8" rally rims, with center caps. At the time of the video I was waiting for a new set of trim rings to complete the stock look.
The difference between a small block and a big block is the spacing between the cylender centers a big block the cyclenders are spaced further apart. My world 454 is 4.25 bore and 4.00 stroke
I love to hear all these people on here telling the guy what kind of motor he has in his own car!!!lol. I mean come on. It sounds great man. I saw a 454 small block once in a camaro. It was the goodmark car i think. All custom, block and everything. Cam location was changed to allow for the huge stroke and bore.
YES! they can BBQ the backside of leg! They can burn holes in your pants, melt your shoes and make your Corvette sound just like a Jeep CJ5! LOL. Seriously, you will only burn yourself ONCE and then learn to step OVER the pipe :)
There are no 427s in '70 vettes. Chevy switched to the 454 for the big block option that year. This motor is definitely not the original for this car. Thanks for looking.
there is no such thing as a 427 sbc. The chevy small block ranged included the 262, 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350 and 400. After 400 Cu in. its a big block.
Check out a company called World Castings and you find that there is indeed a 427 small block chevy. Besides, bored and stroked motors have been around forever and give many more engine variations then the 10 you list. Just because they aren't produced by Chevy doesn't mean they don't exist.
Cubic inches aren't the deciding factor between big and small block chevys. These engine blocks are completely different castings and the heads, cams, intakes, headers... from own style don't bolt up to the other.
I agree that my 427 cu in engine is big, but technically it's not a big block chevy.
The spioler is functional as it forces more air through the radiator. I had trouble keeping the previous 406 block cool enough for stop and go driving.
The entire car will get painted when the mechanical work is complete.
good then,,i bought that spoiler and fit it in my 79 corvette ,,but i didnt like the look ,,i think the 82 models front complete bumper is the most beautifull of all c3 ,,,maybe i ll try to fit one in mine
The only small block 427 that GM has is the LS7, and thats in the '07+ Z06's. That 427 is a big block. If your going to own american muscle, at least know whats under the hood.
Check out a company called World Products and you'll find that there is indeed a 427 Small Block Chevy. I think I know what's under the hood...I put it there.
I stand corrected. I was thinking OEM engines. Because your vette had a 427BB option... I never considered aftermarket swaps. Is it basicaly a 350sb with a 4" stroke, or is it bored.
I was asking if it was just stroked, or if it was bored and stroked. Congrats! You managed to figure out that you can't get +77ci out of a small block chevy by just boreing it out. There is no need to be a keyboard ninja because, you can't even type a correct sentence.

There are no 427s in '70 vettes. Chevy switched to the 454 for the big block option that year. This motor is definitely not the original for this car. Thanks for looking.

A stroked motor can be a small block.

there is no such thing as a 427 sbc. The chevy small block ranged included the 262, 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350 and 400. After 400 Cu in. its a big block.

Check out a company called World Castings and you find that there is indeed a 427 small block chevy. Besides, bored and stroked motors have been around forever and give many more engine variations then the 10 you list. Just because they aren't produced by Chevy doesn't mean they don't exist.

In my opinion what you have is a Big Block. To me, 401+ = Big Block.
Alas, to each his own.

Cubic inches aren't the deciding factor between big and small block chevys. These engine blocks are completely different castings and the heads, cams, intakes, headers... from own style don't bolt up to the other.
I agree that my 427 cu in engine is big, but technically it's not a big block chevy.
thanks for watching.

GM offers a "LSX" after market block. It's a 427 small block. It's capable of taming 2500hp.
Check it out on jegs. They exist. It's also the motor in the new 7.0 zo6 vette.

The spioler is functional as it forces more air through the radiator. I had trouble keeping the previous 406 block cool enough for stop and go driving.
The entire car will get painted when the mechanical work is complete.

a 427 small block is a 400 block with a 4.00"stroke crank so its possible just alot more money than a traditional 427

The only small block 427 that GM has is the LS7, and thats in the '07+ Z06's. That 427 is a big block. If your going to own american muscle, at least know whats under the hood.

Check out a company called World Products and you'll find that there is indeed a 427 Small Block Chevy. I think I know what's under the hood...I put it there.
dpduval 4 years ago
I stand corrected. I was thinking OEM engines. Because your vette had a 427BB option... I never considered aftermarket swaps. Is it basicaly a 350sb with a 4" stroke, or is it bored.
2006STX 4 years ago
a 350 bored 30 over is only a 355,how the fuck could you bore one that much
i think you cheated on your home work
oldchevyw 4 years ago
I was asking if it was just stroked, or if it was bored and stroked. Congrats! You managed to figure out that you can't get +77ci out of a small block chevy by just boreing it out. There is no need to be a keyboard ninja because, you can't even type a correct sentence.

I believe that that they are one in the same. World Castings is the parent company and World Products are the products that they produce.
