Re: Cloning/427 questions
Thanks, guys. I guess what I'm trying to do is make something that will visually look like an OEM ZL-1, with "snowflakes" on the heads and intake. I'm not up on all the numbers as I've been more into the racing side of the cars. This set-up is going to be my street car. Typical street/strip deal with Nash 5 speed, 10 point cage, 12 bolt. Most likely look like an older racer from years ago. As the car sits now, it will run low 10's with the '69 427/390 motor and PG trans. I have my '67 Deuce with a 500" NHRA Pro-Stock motor backed by a liberty for track use. So this is just going to be something to play with.
But was wondering if there was an "over-the-counter" replacement head that was available as to not use the original 074's? As for the block. I would like to find one with the "YENKO" embossed in the front, but don't know much about them, or any other ZL-1 block. I did find that the Reynolds can-am blocks are not for me. PLUS I need something that can handle some real world HP, something in excess of 750+ range.
I've talked to my engine builder, and my goals that I'd like are a little far fetched, but with some time and R&D, he feels we could do it.
