[William B.]

I have been looking at NAPA and Summit web sites, can not find crankshafts or engine kits for a 66 427, am I looking in the wrong place?

Here's one available from Summit:

However, if you have a steel 454 crank that's good, I'd just go with that. There's no substitute for cubic inches.

you will need to clearance the block to use the 454. the power difference is nothing but amazing.

this is important to understand but any good shop should know this. "Requires Narrow Bearings" because of the larger than stock radius in the journal corners
