427 vette is back
Bob Urz 17 April 2005 02:54:09
	I did not think i would see the day when a 427 vette would be back in production. Well, GM proved me wrong. The new Zo6 is a 427ci. In a small block no less. 500HP 475lb T. That ought to enough to light up the pavement. All i have to do now is afford one........

He's already on the waiting list. One of the reasons he wants to trade up is that he blew the rear end out of the LS-2 with less than 5000 miles and no modifications to the powertrain. You just shouldn't be able to do that. The ZO6 has a beefier rear end in addition to the bigger engine. The thing I didn't like about his car when I saw it was the whole "keyless car" idea. I don't really want to always have to carry a remote all the time, and I don't really want to just push a button to start the car. But hey, that's just me. Other than that, its quite an impressive machine!

What started as a 265ci design in the 1950's sure has come a long way. Just hope it doesn't have the uneven cooling problems like the 70's 400ci SB had. Anybody know if the cylinder walls are 'siamesed' like the old 400?? Regards, Al.

Al, no matter what you read about this engine, it has nothing in common with the old small block chevy engine. You can "call" it a small block, but seriously, it is nothing like the old chevy engine. I've got one apart at work, I'll have to take some pictures of it, so folks can appreciate what a difference there is in design. The only similarity is the fact that it's a "pushrod" engine. From what little bit I've read about it, they sleeved the engine in order to get the large bore...as opposed to cast in liners. I'll be very surprised if there aren't "issues" with this engine. Thankfully, not that many will be sold out of our dealership, so we shouldn't have to deal with more the one or two of them. Ian

I was considering buying the upcoming new Impala but a new body AND a new 3.5/3.9 engine might just be asking for trouble. Gonna have to keep the '99 Malibu a while longer (sigh). Regards, AL

The high-performance Galaxy 500s were tagged "7-Liter" for a while back in the 60s. http://www.tommackclassics.com/newsite/1966%20Ford%20Galaxie%207%20Liter/page_1.htm

It quietly went out of production several years ago. The new engines (including the LS-1, LS-2, and 427) are all-aluminum, have reverse-flow cooling, iron sleeves, and few or no interchangeable parts with the old SBC.

It was a Big Block Chevy. -- Alan Gallacher Born to Tinker!

The question being addressed was if the new 427 would have any of the problems that the larger small-blocks (like the 400) had, not whether it would be a pushrod-bender like the old Chevy big-blocks.

Last time I> got 'intimate' with a SBC they were still all cast iron, top & bottom Well, they still are....in some versions. The truck engines all have cast iron blocks, except for one version of the 5.3 that appears in the Trailblazers and the SSR (which is nothing more then a two wheel drive Trailblazer). I've seen a few 6.0 litre engines that also have cast iron heads....I assume that this is some sort of heavy duty version. The 6.0 litre engines also seem to use a superior head gasket when compared to the 4.8/5.3 truck engines. But supposedly....they tend to be noisier (piston slap) then the smaller engines. Yep, like anything, best to avoid the 'beta' version. I was> considering buying the upcoming new Impala but a new body AND a new> 3.5/3.9 engine might just be asking for trouble. Gonna have to keep> the '99 Malibu a while longer (sigh). I think that the 3.5 has "got" to be better then the engine you have in the Malibu. The 3.9 looks like it has a number of design changes even when comparing it to the 3.5. Get something like a Buick Allure with the VVT 3.6 DOHC engine. That's a Caddy engine, and I think it may just end up being bullet-proof. Certainly no intake manifold gasket problems to worry about. Ian

Has the bore spacing changed since the '50s SBC?? IMHO, that is the biggie when it comes to how far you can push displacement without unwanted problems like the old 400 SBC had. Regards, Al.

Getting to 427 with a smaller bore would be one thing, plus using an aluminum block with liners could avoid the cylinders actually being "siamesed" the way the 400's were.
