MID12sSSS Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just got the new built 360 together. At this point Im kinda wishing I'd have gone bigger, but was just looking at a stout daily driver. So I've got a forged 6.0 with a radix, meth, etc. I'm thinking about either picking up another SS as a track truck, or just running this motor for a couple years and then change it up a bit. Anyone ever put in a 427 block? I'll revisit chace's build thread to check on some stuff, but was curious if there were others who have done this successfully or if there were any obvious problems with the idea.

MID12sSSS Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'll have to check 'em out. Thanks. I had an idea and just wanted to start looking into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) ssmuscletruck i believe has one he had one made from a lq9 block and now has an LS7 one. Hopefully he gets the truck back next week and he can get it to the track. I don't think there are build threads for either, just his 6.0 build. How did you manage to build a 360? Did you mean 370? Wasn't it you that built the 383? Edited August 19, 2012 by shadowsniper3006 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Nope. No 383 for me. I believe that was silverado 777's build. And I think he's running a radix. Yeah. 370 for me.... For now. Haha ultimate goal is 427 w/ TVS. Although, I would like to run a LS7. I wouldnt feel comfortable pushing an LQ9 cast to a 427. I just need to find some specifics on what a LS7 swap entails. I'll have to pick up the LS motor swap workbench edition textbook. Haha. And I definitely gotta pick muscletrucks brain when he is finished with the build.

shadowsniper3006 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 yeah, for a couple of reasons you shouldn't use the lq9 for a 427. Ray, supersub, would also be a good guy to talk to as he is the TVS 454 king and now has a tvs 427 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Really? What a monster. Haha. I'll have to hit him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Ray is a real nice guy to talk to, and have is always willing to help. Joe had his new 427 motor dyno'd at the crank and wheels but until he says it or says I can blab it, I can't say. But hopefully I'll talk to him tonight. I can't wait to see the et it puts down Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
