Tall Deck BB
« on: December 03, 2004, 01:25:22 AM »
Hi guys,

I've decided not to invest any time or effort into the stock L-82 350, its just not big enough for what im after :evil

What I do want is a Chev 427 Big block, Ive been looking solidly to find one, although I can't seem to see one for sale anywhere, does anyone have any ideas on where I can get one from?

Basically I want to work it before it goes in the car, then pull the old engine out, have the bay painted, replace everything else in the bay to new, rebuild the whole front and rear and put the new engine in :evil

Blade if you can wait a few months, I'm looking for a big block project vette in the US which I will be taking the engine out ( sell) to be replaced for my secret weapon project!!! otherwise you can find the odd big block in the Trading Post newspaper or Just Parts mag at your newsagent,also listed in the parts mag are companies around Sydney and other states that sell big block Crate engines.

Eagles are getting popular with our club.  Thats where I got my new blank 350 block and gear reduction starter motor.  Had to deck the block, but then thats to be expected.  Don't get Holleys from them.  Got a price today for a 650 high performance model, double pumper.  Well over $1100 and it was not the polished type.  I have priced polished units from SA for $1000

Awesome :22 I went out today and bought "Just Parts" magazine, and found an Advertisment for "Eagle auto spares".

You'll have to excuse this extremly noob question, Im used to Japanese import engines, so you dont really talk about short and long blocks ;35 my supra was a 3ltr twin turbo pumping out over 400 bhp and all I had done was an exhaust system :fun

The ad actually advertises a "Chev 427 Tall deck long engine" Now what the hell does that mean ;mmm Im still learning V8 speak ;35 Is that the complete engine? Obviously minus Carbs I understand that much :22 What else would have to be added to that to be complete?

Blade its good to see you saw the light on Rice burnners ( even though the TT Supra & Godzillas are Japans great cars) and turned to true American muscle cars! (especially BIG BLOCK VETTES).   Cam do you ever sleep,you seem to be be on our forum 24 hours a day?????

Hi Andy.  My business gets pretty hectic, specialy this time of year and paper work keeps me going to all hours of the night so I use the Forum to unwind.  Dont want to miss anything I can use.
