Chevy guys know that the 3X2 setup was available in either 400 or 435 HP versions, in the Corvette. Anybody remember what the difference was between the two engines?
427/400 had 10.25 compression cast pistons cast crankshaft,Hydraulic tappet camshaft and oval port closed chamber heads,427/435 Hp. had 11.5:1 compression forged pistons, forged steel crankshaft, Mechanical flat tappet camshaft and rectangular closed chamber heads,Tri power setup looks real sexy but a single Holley Dominator makes more power....
