I do want to say that I got a kick outta readin' your post. You've definitely got the right idea and plan to resurrect this fine mill.
I'm going to offer some real quick answers based on my opinions:
Hardened exhaust seats? Don't need 'em with your limited usage plans and the occasional mix of leaded racing fuel.
Your stock 427 lo-riser stands/rockers will work fine. You might consider changing the self locking style adjusting screws to a lock nut style as offered by Rocker Arm Specialties in Californina. I use them on my 427 and like them. I did have occasional issues with the self-locking adj. screws.
Rods? The lo riser rods are the same as the CJ/PI 428 rods. They're good. ARP does offer a rod bolt kit and I'd suggest them. I have them in my '63 lo riser rods. No probs so far but I keep my revs limited to 6,000 which is max for the Comp 282S I'm running. Like you, I've become a bit conservative and no longer feel the need to rev my standard bore crack free '63 427 any higher than 6,000.
Again, quick answers based on opinions and some experience. Maybe other will jump in an get some dialog going here again. |
