I was thinking about doing a turbo'd 427, i'll be able to go this route with less money b/c of the sponsorship on the motor parts, so that's why i was debating either the lsx or C5-R or LS7 blocks for starting points, with 800+hp i'm going to need a strong block. I'd like some suggestions on what internals to use. pretty much a parts list of everything i need to order/buy for the longblock. i'm ordering all the parts seperate b/c my dad has an engine builder that does his race car engines, so that takes care of that. Any suggestions on a cam?? remember its going to be a 427 with an ST80 turbo. 8.9:1 or 9.0:1 compression. what's one of the best intake manifolds to go with as far as FI goes? thanks again, i'm sure i'll have many more questions. haha

    Thanks for the interest, i think i'm stuck on the new body style though. Interested in the 14 bold though. i'm new to chevy, so is the 9.5" rear the same thing that's in a 99 silverado? also, what kind of gears are in the 14 bolt?
