Default Project Lando's 427

2002 Reg cab short box 2wd. We pulled the 5.3L/4L60E out and replaced it with a build 427. Block was a SDPC L92 El Toro 427. Then we finished it off with Yella Terra Rockers strapped to Trickflow's 235 Heads. Custom grind Comp Cam, Fast 42# Injectors, Fast's 92mm Intake ported to 95mm and a 95mm DBW Rev Xtreme T.B. Kept the truck accessories on this one. Man it's almost worth the money to use corvette accessories. With the truck accessories the stupid T.B. was hitting the belt cause we had to flip the T.B. upside down on the 427 to clear the alternator and space it from the manifold to clear the waterpump outlet.

Hooker Super Comp Ceramic Coated Headers into a 3.5" exhaust Mufflered with a Dynomax Welded Ultraflow. Tranny was a Finishline Trans, Stage 5. Yank 3600 Stall converter Zexel T2-R rear end w/4:56 gear. We haven't dyno'ed this truck yet but it is an animal. 3rd gear is still as messy as first. Spinfest. May not look like it from the vid but we are hoping for 550RWHP. Very Healthy.

On a MT ET Street we ran a best of 11.9 @ 112MPH.

Special Thanks to Black X for all the work contributed to the build.

Here's a link to the stuff I have of the 427 truck.

It looks really nice and runs great but for some reason 11's NA is no longer a shock. Great run.
