Chevy ZZ427 - 430 BBC

This ZZ427 is built on the legend of the 60's big block Chevy engines. This one is built using a cast iron 4 bolt main block with 9.5:1 compression and a hydraulic roller camshaft. The big block packages gives outstanding performance using low octane fuel to keep your cruising costs down. The 427 rotating assembly is all forged components. Up top, the oval port heads with 2.19-inch intake and 1.88-inch exhaust valves work with 1.7:1 aluminum roller rockers and a .510-inch lift intake/.540-inch lift exhaust camshaft. Completing the induction system is a matched high-flow oval-port aluminum intake that gets fed by a 870 cfm carburetor. Included is an HEI distributor, aluminum water pump, spark plug wires and a 14-inch flexplate. You can rev the 427 up to 6 grand before you shift.
