The 427" is a "crate engine" from Bill Mitchell. It is an WORLD Products aluminum block and WORLD Products cylinder heads. All of the engine internals are aftermarket.

The induction is from Wilson manifolds and features one of their billet spacers & throttle bodies and fuel rails. Ignition is from MSD and the ECU for the fuel injection is from F.A.S.T. The entire engine ready to run weighs in at 350 lbs (which is extremely light for a Chevy SBC!) On the dyno, the engine made 538 horsepower and 522 Ft. Lbs. of torque on 92 octane fuel. A T-56 six-speed out of a Viper and modified by Rockland Standard Gear handles putting the power down. Best in Show at the 4th Annual Grand Turismo Awards ceremony at the 2006 Las Vegas show. As part of this achievement the Corvette would be forever immortalized in digital form in Gran Turismo.
