The 434 remains a strong choice for the old school guys. I still build 2 or 3 every year for my die-hard customers. 4.155" bore, 4" stroke, 6" rods and JE pistons. Top with AFR, or Dart Pro1 Platinum, heads. Add an Edelbrock Super Victor, whether going carb or EFI. Finally, still lose to the guys running the LS7 427 with just cam and headers. Plus you're still stuck with a distributor and a single ignition coil. To make power to 7200 rpm, the LS7 just needs pushrods, while you'll need a solid roller cam, COMP Endure-X lifters, and dual springs, plus aftermarket rockers, all in addition to good pushrods. Come on, bro, step into the modern age.
will be looking for a short block to start with. and using all my other parts on it..the old end was a Lingenfelter 838 (480 490 Hp) 480 ft lbs tork
this was With out the NOS.
dont looK at the Dust.. car ran fantastic for 7/8 years broke in 02 and just slid her in the shack out back..and let her get dusty this is 7 years of sitting
tranny and rear end was all brand new and was on the way to the track when it broke...some thing in the eng went Clunk..that was it.. will not turn over even By hand.. looked under the rocker covers every thing is there.. dropped them back on and walked away..
makes me sick to think of all the cleaning ill have to do.. this was a show and go car for years back in the 1993 to 98 block.
i hope all the upper parts are ok.. heads. cam
every this was just gone over.. before the last brake..
it's got a big mech roller cam i just love..
gear drive..if you name the part it's on it.. at the time i did the eng it was over $10.000 just for that..thats just the eng not car tranny rear end NOS..just the eng.. im sick thinking it's just sitting there.. this way..
Whether you wanna stay with the gen1 design or step up to the new lsx platform, 427 and 434's can be built on a standard deck height block, and 454 to 500+ cubic inches is possible with a tall deck block.
