Yes By Big Dave - 05/14/2006 10:36:21 PM; IP 209.33.49.0 Unfortunately yes, Inquisitor, it was. It was rated at 335 or so HP (although it was actually pushing over 400) and its downfall was its long stroke. Although the top end (heads, itake, cam) was good, it just didn't make the best of that long (3.98") stroke. The 427 was a big-bore (4.23"), short stroke (3.78") monster, and the LS6 had a top end from hell. A good thing, though, was that a gearhead was able to swap many 427 top end components to the 428, it had a bore large enough to clear the massive (2.19") valves. In the aftermarket, the 428 ran with the best; but in stock form, the 428 was eclipsed by it's smaller brother. By the way, Walt, I didn't mean to sound rude. My apologies if I did.

This thread, so far...
