Why a Supercharged 427 V8
The 427 cubic-inch supercharged platform is one of the most respected engine choices in the Eleanor tribute world. Builders chasing real performance land on one of a few proven routes:
-
A 428 Cobra Jet V8: The engine most closely tied to the original 2000 movie cars.
-
A 427 big block (This Build): Valued for massive big-block torque and an authentic muscle car feel.
-
A supercharged 5.0L Coyote V8: A modern alternative used on restomod-leaning builds.
-
A 351 Windsor V8: A lighter small-block option common on entry-level tribute builds.

Bottom-End & Cylinder Head Construction
The bottom end of this 427 Power Adder engine is built to survive sustained boost, not just a single dyno pull. A forged steel crank and H-beam rods form the core of the rotating assembly, working with 2618 forged pistons an alloy specifically chosen for its strength under detonation and heat, common in boosted and nitrous applications. Every rotating component is secured with ARP bolts, and oiling under hard acceleration and cornering is protected by a high-capacity CHAMP oil pan.
On top, the AFR CNC-ported aluminum heads are professionally blueprinted and balanced, ensuring even airflow and combustion across all eight cylinders a critical step when the engine is being pushed to four-digit horsepower numbers.

Fuel Delivery & Engine Management
Feeding the 427 at 1009 HP requires more than a stock fuel system. This build uses a Pro M Aluminum intake matched with 1000cc fuel injectors and an Accufab throttle body to move the volume of air and fuel the engine demands. All of it is tuned and monitored through a Holley Terminator X ECU, giving precise control over fueling and timing, while an MSD 6AL ignition box ensures consistent, high-energy spark even under heavy boost a common failure point on lesser-built supercharged engines.

Forced Induction System
Power comes from a Vortech V7 Straight Drive Supercharger, a centrifugal unit chosen for its ability to make big, reliable power at high boost levels. It's routed through a Concept One drive system for a clean, serpentine-driven setup, and boost is regulated by a Mondo bypass valve to protect the system during off-throttle transitions. This combination is what pushes the engine to its dyno-verified 1009 peak HP.

Drivetrain & Power Delivery
Putting 1009 HP to the ground reliably starts with the T56 Magnum 6-speed manual transmission, paired with a McLeod RST twin disc clutch inside a Quick Time bellhousing to handle the torque without slipping. From there, power runs through a Currie Nodular 9-inch rear end, and the entire vehicle's chassis and suspension were reinforced to keep the car planted under this level of output.

Braking & Chassis Support
An engine of this output needs braking to match. This build uses 14-inch Wilwood brakes to bring the car down from speed reliably, backed by chassis and suspension upgrades engineered specifically to keep the vehicle rigid and controlled under the load of a supercharged big block.

Verified Build & Dyno Documentation
This isn't a generic parts list every component on this engine is documented and traceable back to Prestige Motorsports' own build sheets and dyno records. Below are the original, unedited build documents for this specific engine.
Dyno-Verified Power
The engine was pulled on Prestige Motorsports' in-house DYNOmite dyno at their 5110 Davidson Hwy, Concord, NC 28027 facility on February 14, 2023, under the test name "Deluxe Rod 427 Boost V-7 YSI 750." The final logged pull shows 1009 HP at 6400 RPM, with peak torque of roughly 847 lb-ft at 6000 RPM — figures pulled directly from the RPM-by-RPM dyno sheet, not estimated.
Engine Serial Numbers & Build Identity
Every core component of this engine is serialized and matched to the same build kit, so the parts on the car are verifiably the parts that were dyno-tested:
Engine Serial #4560 · Block Serial #2070 · Rotating Assembly Kit #092322A · Cylinder Heads AFR-4560 (Air Flow Research).
Assembly & Compression Data
The engine was hand-assembled by Prestige Motorsports builder Larry B. on December 7, 2022. Recorded build specs confirm a 4.000" stroke, 427 cubic inches, and a 8.8:1 compression ratio a compression range purpose-built to run safely under Vortech V7 boost without inviting detonation.
Main & Rod Bearing Clearances
Bearing clearances were measured and logged for every main and rod journal to ensure oiling tolerances hold up under sustained boost mains built with Clevite MB5503XP bearings, rods with CR807XPN bearings, camshaft part #31-2281 with GP-1003 lifters.
Piston-to-Bore Clearance
Each cylinder's piston-to-bore clearance was individually measured and averaged out to .0051" tight, consistent tolerances across all four logged cylinders, confirming precision machine work rather than an off-the-shelf short block.
