I've always wanted to but the 427 came with everything for a carb. So I'm going to run it like it is until I get all the stuff for efi. Almost there...I may have missed it, but when did you decide to go back to EFI?
I like the Wilwood brakes better than the Aerospace kits. I have had better success/performance out of the Wilwood set up. Just my .02 worthI was actually just looking at the Aerospace kits. Not totally unreasonable. I'm not worried about weight savings, I want to stop this horse if I need to.
So the heads are going bye bye but you've still got the 408 short block? what are you going to trade it for, I' ll go look in the garage to see what I got....

Heads are probably bye bye. You know how selling goes. Still need them?
I am more than likely going to hold on to the short block, but money talks. I got tired of people kicking tires so I pulled the ads. Ideally, I want to put the 225s from the 427 on the 408 and run the 408 because I think it's better built. Who knows. I just want to drive the damn thing, so its going to stay as it is for a little while.
I drove it around the block today. I'll call it the first successful trip. No fires, leaks, stalls, etc. I'd call that a win in my book.
Oh, it's ridiculously loud. I should have forked out the money for some nice Magnaflows instead of cheaping out on the Bullets. Oh well, the neighbors can suck it.
I did get on it a little bit. I thought it would sputter and maybe attempt to go fast, but no. No no no. I hit the seat hard and yelped in surprise. It moves.
Ill put up some videos and such tomorrow assuming it doesn't rain.
Yeah! the AFR was @ 11.0 part throttle, so I am currently reading the adjustment instructions since I have never messed with a carb before. Once I lean it out a little tomorrow it should run like a raped ape.
