Post 427 crate swap ?'s

I was wondering if anyone had anything with a 427 crate in it
if so can I hear some 1/4 mile times or what not... just anything dealing with 427 or anything above 302
I wanna swap an engine and just wanna know about performance or any of that stuff

i don't know man i get 8 mpg as of now


making a truck go fast is like using a jack hammer to put up a picture...
its way to bulky to be fast and its way to heavy to accelerate

I get 9 when I don't drive like grampa. XD

I'm in bad need of running some seafoam through it. And probably a tune up.

my 351 will destroy all your mileage... I am calculating the gas mileage now, and have not filled up, so this is a rough estimate, but I am figuring it somewhere around 6-7 driving like a granny... execpt 3 instances of testing my 0-60 time

I am working through the engine as I get time/money to find why it's so bad and hopefully scavenge a few MPG


edit: oh, and all that gas is not getting to the wheels, cause my 0-60 time is about 13 seconds
