Can't believe that there is so much BS in this thread. Some you know what your talking about but a lot of you should really stick to cigars. All this talk about solid lifters and what makes a stroker motor, man oh man. And, what ever happened to building your own motor? Crate motors don't do a thing for me. I guess I'm ole school where you when you built a hot rod.


My favorite motors (I know they were real tough to keep right) 327 375hp fuel injected vette motor or the 396 375hp motor that first appeared in the 65 vettes & 65 malibu/chevelle SS, & the 427 435hp motor.

Streetrod, not everyone was taught about engines growing up. Not everyone is mechanically inclined, and not everyone has seen an engine opened up and understands how all the parts work together.

I am mechanically inclined. I went to a few schools that helped.

That said, I still don't know much about internal combustion engines, other than how to do simple maintenance.

Sorry to disagree with you, but no 427 was available in the 65 vette. The vette introduced the 396 big block motor in April of 65. 1966 started the 427. Yes a complete 427 will cost a bundle. I'm talking about buying a block crank heads, act, act and putting one together yourself. If you avoid the tripower you can do it for around 6 grand and have a killer motor with 500 + hp. See my correction in my original post. Forgot to add that the 427 started in 1966

I understand that and agree with you.
I won't touch my daily driver (a 2009 Tahoe) as I don't know a thing about these new electronics

True that somethings under the hood look like I remember them I think they are called Valve Covers LOL and to make it worst I bought a Diesel so I know it goes to the shop LOL

I was lucky to have a dad that was into cars & I always hung with him. When I was 14 (1961) I worked on my first car. It was my brothers 53 chrysler new yorker. From there it was a passion. How the heck I would up in the financial industry is still something I don't get.
