Help me choose a 427 small block

[Hurst - Jeff]

I am working on our new Classic Chevy 5-Speed 67 Camaro. It will be our first gen Camaro prototype car for testing new Tremec related transmision products so we can develope newer and better conversion kits. I will be buying a new motor for it and need some input selecting the best choice. Here are my requirements:

Needs to be a carburated 427 small block (personal preference).
I am looking for a turnkey set up (carb to pan).
Reliability is important.
I needs to be streetable on pump gas.
Will not be racing it - just a strong street car.
Price is not the driving factor but I do not not want to go overboard.Ther are several 427 builders out there. I want to avoid making a mistake - I want to go with a trusted, reputable company.

Thanks in advance for your input and suggestions.
Jeff

They sell a carbed. 427 small blocks that are complete and comes with a 2 year warranty, pump gas friendly and 400 to 600 h.p. www.worldcastings.com (http://www.worldcastings.com). You could also check out www.ultrastreet.net (http://www.ultrastreet.net). I hope this helps..

Another builder with a good rep is Scott Shafiroff at www.shafiroff.com (http://www.shafiroff.com). I have only read good things about their operation.

I have the all aluminum 427 from Bill Mitchell and I love it! It feels so good having 520hp under the hood with the engine only weighing 355lb. The quality of the engine is amazing. Bill Mitchell also has the iron version 427 with aluminum heads which is just as powerful. Hope this helps you.

Also this is my daily driver!

The Bill Mitchell 427 aluminum engine is about $12,000 and the iron w/aluminum heads is a little under $10,000

So Jeff - what's happened with this./

I am leaning towards the Bill Mitchell 427 for various reasons.
The guy you referred me to (Paul at Dynowest) is a great guy and I will consider him for sure in the future.
Thanks for your help.
