HPR Iron 427 Forged short block
The 427 destination has always been a special one for Chevy, and our forged Dart SHP 427 short block makes for a special build in a number of ways. The Dart SHP iron block offers more stability with the block in high HP builds and uses a std 9.240" deck height like all LS engines. Stock cam location, stock 0.842" lifter bores (larger on request), and stock LS main bearings are used in the SHP block.
ARP main studs keep the caps in place and all dimensions are carefully measured and machined to our exacting specifications for clearances. A forged Dart center counter weighted 4.000 stroke crankshaft is the foundation of the rotating assembly to further increase the strength compared to a typical forged crankshaft. Hung off the crank we use a forged H beam K1 rod with ARP fasteners and our own designed piston manufactured by Wiseco. The entire assembly is balanced and assembled here in house for the ultimate performance and reliability you expect from HPR.
Approx compression 10:1 with stock LS7 cylinder heads - ask about piston compression options when ordering.
