hi guys i'm new to this site but i've been in and out of cars and trucks since i could crawl and i've been given the chance to pick up a fresh 427 tall deck for dirt and a ham sammich and i have a few ideas floating around in my head and i'm just looking for some other opinions other than just my circle of friends i have a bare short deck 454 block and i could just buy some .030 pistons for that and build a 427 short deck and sell that along with my bare TD427 i could try to resell the TD427 as it sits or i could put it on an engine stand and let it sit till i decide to put it in an old woods beater i don't want to rip it apart if i run it ill just put a holley truck avenger on and call it done but what else will i need to just drop in and play

thanks bob, i failed to mention i've got a 468 thats going in a truck of mine and i dont think i'll ever try to get performance out of the 427 just thought it would be pretty fun in a geared down woods beater the way it sits or worse comes to worst pull the crank and rods and throw a set of keith blacks on the rods and put them in my other bare block i got laying around and i know a few people that dont have the checking account for an aftermarket block but still want something they can beat on in a pulling truck so i could go that route and dump the block to one of them, just my .02 but it is nice to hear other opinions on the subject so thanks again
