Well just because I had a do nothing day today I called Butler and Kauffman. Got conflicting answers. Butler told me to build the 389 into a 421 based on the cam that GTOFREEK specd for me and the parts I have already acquired. I called Kauffman and they told me to use the 455 to build a 467 because basically there is no replacement for displacement. I think I am gonna use the 70 HO 455 block I have and use the 4.25 stroker kit that Butler sells. I know 400s are out there but they are not here. I know where 3 67 HO engines are complete from air cleaner to oil pan but the owner wants 1500 a piece and they are not running. Have been sitting for at least 20 years in his garage. I cant pay that for a core. I check Craigslist everyday in my local area and either its way too high or its gone when I call.
