Re: 427 tall deck???? I need HELP!!!
I worked at a speed shop/machine shop back in Texas in early 1994.
We had a customer that went down this same road. He started with a tall deck block he got for free then used these high dollars 454 (std deck) pistons that he already had, then used an aftermarket stroked crank with aftermarket longer than stock rods and some aluminum aftermarket heads. Ended up with a 496cid that made really good horsepower numbers on the dyno.
But after he was done getting everything in the car and finished. He SWORE he would never build a tall deck motor again, ever... he said dollar for dollar he would of been better off buying a Dart big block bare block and using all standard deck big block stuff. He said it would of been way cheaper and way less headaches.
