Kent has advertised in wanted to buy a 428 block

Hi, Do you have the end caps to go with it? Cheers

Hi, What size motor is it for? Cheers

WOW

The hard part of being locked up is not being able to go get parts to continue with a project.

Many of us are running 427 based engines.  It's that there are too many better options than TP heads and they make more power and run better.
It's why I suggested you went and ran you build by Barry Robotnic, Blair Patrick, Brent Lykins or Jay Brown. They're all in the forum and not only offer lots of free dyno-proven advice about combinations and components but will actually do your build if you so choose. Sure,  Hi riser and TP heads were cool in the day. They just don't run well on street engines. I have read about every FE build book out there. There is always more to learn technology always changes and it's why I consulted the best FE builders in the world.

I do have a 428 from a 67 Tbird and have some GT heads with a C7ZX dual quad inlet manifold, and leave the TP on an engine stand looking cool

That sounds impressive, what are you putting it in?

I know they are not the best for that but sure will look cool, may even surprise some at the lights.

I am not in the league as most on here, there is a '83 V12 XJS and then two project 67 fastbacks.
One going back as original S code GT 4 speed, Dark moss green deluxe parchment interior.
The other I am collecting parts to make a GT500 clone(tribute), in the pile of treasure are version 6 10 spokes, deluxe seats, tilt steering, NOS dash with rebuilt 8k tach 140 speedo, real roll bar and inboard lights.
Just the fibre glass to get, but have talked to Jim Cowles about after market.
The jewel under the hood(bonnet) which I am saving for a 427 tunnel port.

Hi Side Oilers, Rotorua, New Zealand.

This is day 2 of lock down south of the equator, the police have road blocks up and can only have a legitimate reason for going out. Can only go out for groceries or meds. I heard that people are stocking up on toilet paper, as one person coughs ten people shit themselves. Only 3 weeks 5 days to go.

We are getting all that global warming carry on over here in New Zealand, there answer is to tax us even our livestock can't fart for free.
Where does all the tax go and benefits from it?

I may feel guilty offering to buy you new repops and take those off your hands

Hi Wedgeman, hadn't thought of that, looking at it I'd like to think that I win the race to gas station.

Hi I see there are some CJ heads up on ebay, my question now is would the inlet ports match up to the dual quad inlet manifold? thanks again for your input.
