So this is it, I guess.
Finished Block 427 FE | Call Us @ 707-836-1534 | Carroll Shelby Engine Company
10.150 deck height!
Dude ain't happy enough with the 427, apparently going to stroke it up to about a 482 (square bore of 4.250" x 4.250").

Won't be spinning it to high with that 4.250 stroke... What's the buildup consist of?

At this point, I think the guy is looking at an Eagle rotating assembly that comes with Mahle pistons. Sad to say, I don't think we're going to be putting it together. I suspect we're just going to clean it up and hone it out to the appropriate size.

Sounds like a grenade In a nice block to me... That's like buying a aluminum dart block to put the stock internals in

The only thing that worries me is that it's a cast crank. Eagle doesn't offer a forged for this application in any stroke. Scat does.
That being said, it's only a street car, he's not going to be buzzing it too much.
I hope.
Well, you know what they say! Customer is always right!
Except when he's wrong...
I kid. It oughta be pretty good.

Ya got me. For all I know, he bought the car with it already installed.
Keep in mind, I'm just a machine shop guy. I don't know the history of the car, or even what color it is.
And yea, he's got money. We built him a V8-60 for a USAC Midget a few years ago. He's got a private building at a local road course.
Must be nice :/
