This Chevrolet 427 Big Block V-8 Die Cast Replica Engine 1:6 Scale from Liberty Classics is hand assembled with extreme attention to detail, featuring moving and removable parts all made to original specifications!
The huge 427 in³ (7 L) V8 was introduced in 1966 on the Corvette. Bore was up to 4.25 in, and the power ratings were said to be conservative. The hydraulic-lifter L30 (L36 in 1968) option was rated at 390 hp (291 kW) and 460 ft·lbf (624 N·m), while the solid-lifter L72 pushed out 425 hp (317 kW) and 460 ft·lbf (624 N·m). The 1967 L89 (1968 L71) increased this to 435 hp (324 kW) and 460 ft·lbf (624 N·m), while the L88 from the same years produced 560 hp (418 kW).
The 1969 ZL1 is one of the best-remembered big-blocks. Putting out 430 hp (321 kW) and 450 ft·lbf (610 N·m) from a special camshaft and tuned Holley carb in an aluminum intake, it was a $2000 option! But the all-aluminum engine block weighed just 98 lb, less than half the weight of a similar iron block. Just two production Corvettes were made with this option, making it one of the rarest.
The 427 was also used in GM full-size trucks and available in full sized cars.
