427 Engine Help

[351wStang]

Before you make a purchase like this you need to look at what its going to take to install it. Join corral.net and do some research. Reading thrue the archives of tech discussions will teach you more than just asking questions. If I remember correctly there are some difficulties in swapping the T56 into the foxbody cars. Seems like you have to modify the trans tunnel and possibly have a hard time routing the exhaust. But this could be for the 65-66 cars, I cant remember for sure. I know its not great for this forum for me to send you to another forum but at the same time most of your questions are already answered over there. If you have a hard time finding the info you are looking for over there just let me know and I'll see what I can dig up for you.

Then nothing ever happens. But I figure if I advise people when they are in the dreaming/planning stage then they will hopefully one day be able to build a motor with a good merge of parts. For instance who is gonna run a .750+ lift 280* @ .050 solid roller with some GT40's... ya know what I mean? Sure it would go thrue all 4 cycles and physically run (with alot of head work of course), but it would run like shit.

You are gonna be changing a few things to run the 9.5" deck block in a fox body, but to stuff an FE in there is a whole other ball game. You will be useing special mounts, headers, acc brackets, ect. Where as with the windsor you can use the stock motor mounts, swap headers, reuse the stock acc's & bracketry, and buy a crank pulley spacer. There are several things I'm forgetting on the FE swap, but its one that I've never done. I'm sure you could find some info on the swap with google though.

Thanks!
I did the same thing he is doing before I actually started buying parts ect. I ran different combos buy many people who have been there and done that. I wanted to find out exactly what will and what wont work from those guys before I made a costly mistake that they may have been able to prevent had I asked the questions. But now that I have built several motors, built a couple cars, ect ect, I figure if I can help get people going in the right direction on their cars then maybe they will do the same for someone else on down the road. I know this hobby/sport is fun, addictive, and EXPENSIVE! Mistakes are often costly when dealing with cars, and nobody wants to waste money.

Shelby America has a Aluminum 427 that you can buy.

[Pimpdady753]

i dont want to buy one i want to bild one.

[351wStang]

I know you want to build your own motor. But there are some very specific things to be done when building a motor. You cant just bolt everything together and be done. To be honest with you this would be your best bet: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku
Then you could just add the heads, cam, intake of your choice. Plus, when you get ready for a blower/turbo/ or nitrous the block and internals will be able to handle more than you can throw at them. It will save you from having to upgrade later. I wish this is what I had done.

[Pimpdady753]

ic those man o war blocks are real nice. i was also thinking of starting with, useing the motor i have now and getting it bord and shit, then stroking it out with a 347 kit, just as my first engine bild you know it wont be that much money stroker kit 1,000 heads 1,300 cam 150 then machine work, i think thats what i might do just for a experence. you know.
