Re: 427 SBC & 4L80e build

Not much of an update on the Engine other than it was painted. The Cam is arriving today and the short block will be assembled this week.

In the meantime, I've been tackling a couple of things I needed to get done before I'm ready for the engine & trans to go back in.

1. Added Auburn's E-Locker & 3.73 out back.

2. Converted to rear disc brakes using CaptainFab's brackets. The brackets fit like glove and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering this.

3. Boyd Welding EFI Stealth tank with side fill.

I've heard with this kit (along with other kits out there) that you might have to machine the axles. I called Moser and talked to their rep and he knew exactly what length I needed so a set of custom axles was ordered. They where only $100 more delivered to my door than if I was to order their direct fit from Summit. Not bad.
