Is it possiable to stroke a 400cid chevy motor to a 427? I'm seeing kits to make it a 421 and a 430...but no 427. Can someone clear this up for me and let me know if i can make my all time favorite motor out of the 400 I have?

Thanks in advance!

Standard 4.125 400 bore with a 4 inch stroke crank makes a smallblock 427.

 

Is it possiable or you to tell me a makeshift parts list, so I know pretty much what to look for?

Thanks!

 

a big block 427 has a bore and stroke of 4.250/3.760 respectivly, and a small block stroker 427 or 434 (.030 overbore) is a 4.125 (4.155)/4" bore/stroke

so don't think your going to have the same combo as a 427BB.

but to answer your question, look for a 434stroker kit, and either ask the company if you can get the pistons in a 4.125 bore (non-overbored) or chances are, your used 400block is going to need a .030 bore for matience, so you might as well just build it as a 434.

427-434 is the same as a
400-406
or
350-355

Then you'll need some nice 6" rods, pistons and dont even think about using production cylinder heads on it or i'll kill ya
