Which one of these engines would you build?
 

I was wondering if you had the choice which engine you would build. I was thinking a 327 with a small blower, a 383 stroker or a 427 stroker all small blocks.

What am I building it for? What do I want it to do?

Going fast lol

383 stroker with a small blower.:cool-smiley-011:

Weismann Marine is building a 435ci sbc at 650hp no blower.

i have 460 cubic in LS7 small blocks na 730 hp 645 lbs hp is at 6800

You can get 460 out of the LS7!:eek:

That is cool, how many hours do you have on them now?

How much cylinder wall do you have left?? :eek: Who built your motors?

I would opt for the most CI Naturally aspirated. I built and run a 428 sbc. Alot more motor then my old 550hp 383 chevy

to start with what size boat and how much does it weight. That would have a lot to do with what size motor i would build. Oh and what kind of drive

327's are wussy's in a boat, not enough stroke or torque to overcome the drag, Build the Biggest N/A and go from there...

I was just thinking the 327 cause it would rev like crazy.
the boat is 23.6 feet and 2948lb and I should have my bravo drive next week
They can also stroke the sbc to 454s now

Are you using the LSX block?

Its a boat not a Indy car plus bravos dont like over 6000 on the input shaft.. Boats like torque!!
383 with a blower best of both worlds..

Or this route if your pockets are deep enough,but the bravos wont like the 6800

the idea of a blower under the hatch is sweet I think.
I actually have a 454 mag coming with the bravo but I kind of would like to stay with a small block

Speaking of .....a max cubic inch injected LSX set up would be killer.

Eddie can you get an aluminum LSX yet?

UD

I'm not sure. Haven't tried yet. :lolhit:
I would love to build a big inch small block based on the LSX. They are some wicked little blocks capable of handling over2500 hp and, I think, over 500 ci. The all LS class of drag racing has some guys making oer 3000 hp with some gorilla turbos. Not real good for a boat, but it sure is cool.

How cool would a 500+ ci LSX series small block with a 5.0L Whipple be?
Eddie

Go big block!:drink:
