The idea was to recreate the L89 427 with all aftermarket parts just to see if we could best the GM power numbers. What we didn't know until we chucked the motor on a dyno is we built a little 427 that is knocking on the door of the race-only L88.The idea was to recreate the L89 427 with all aftermarket parts just to see if we could best the GM power numbers. What we didn't know until we chucked the motor on a dyno is we built a little 427 that is knocking on the door of the race-only L88. Not only did we build a pretty healthy engine, we did it without pushing everything to the limits. If we want to expand our pump-gas 427-or we should say our 0.030-over 427 (433ci)-it can be built up into the 600ci range because we used an aftermarket block. Funny how we are calling a 427 small-man, how things have changed.
