This will receive a slightly different/full write up in the technical section in a little while. I'll post pictures and video as well.
It is a 465 (464.5...) cubic inch engine based on a Genesis iron 427 block with a 4.310 bore and a 428 factory 3.98 stroke. It has Scat H beam rods, +/-9.5:1 compression, and is internally balanced. The engine was originally built for another customer and he returned it for a refund after a stated 500 miles of street use with a squeaking sound. I've discussed the source of the sound - a damaged rocker shaft found during inspection - on the Network 54 forum.
The engine was originally built with factory iron D2TE-AA heads, a very small cam, and a stock oil pan.
In order to make it a more desireable combination for street high performance we have completely gone through the engine and made numerous upgrades more in keeping with use of an aftermarket block. While the block, crank, rods, pistons, and intake are "used" the rest of the engine is essentially new.
The engine now has a somewhat larger hydraulic roller cam with 230/236 duration and .556/.556 lift on a 110 lobe sep angle. It still idles very nicely at under 800 RPM with 10 inches of vacuum and will run power brakes with ease.
Heads are Survival FElony castings with normal prep and double valve springs. Intake is an Edelbrock Performer RPM port matched to the heads. Rockers are a new set T&D street units stud mounted to the heads.
Ignition is a new MSD "ready to run" with integral electronics and a steel gear. Oil pan is a new Milodon 7 quart front sump, with a new pickup, and a Canton windage tray. Hot idle oil pressure is around 44 psi. Current carb is an older Holley 850 vacuum secondary (Corvette carb) which I had on hand although any option is available to the buyer. Dyno runs used a one inch phenolic open spacer. It also has a new Edelbrock aluminum water pump, new MSD plug wires (added during the dyno tests - not in all the pictures...), and some finned aluminum valve covers from my personal inventory.
I ran the engine for a long time and tried a few things. All runs were made on 93 octane pump premium, although I would expect that the low compression would allow it to run on 89 or 91 with ease. Peak horsepower was 503 at 5300 RPM, peak torque was 541 pounds at 4100. This engine would be brutal yet tame in a big Galaxie or pickup truck.
To duplicate this package as a scratch build would cost between $17,000 and $18,000 and would take several weeks/months to deliver. This engine is immediately available for a very significant discount and will still carry a "new build" warranty. You could install it next week and start driving before the snow melts.
Call/email (email is way better) with questions and such. Trades considered but most likely ignored unless it was something really extraordinary like a mute Playboy centerfold with an old fat guy fetish
