THE GOATEE 🐐 | BUSINESS IN THE BACK. PARTY IN THE FRONT.
The success of our engine program has officially converted a die-hard conventional small-block Chevy guy over to the LS world!
This boost-ready 427 LS is headed out the door to our friend David Waksman, and it’s built to take everything the drag-and-drive world can throw at it!
This project has officially been dubbed “The Goatee.”
We’ve all heard the mullet described as business in the front, party in the back. Well, this Catfish Camaro is flipping the script. Business in the back, party in the front! And with what’s coming, there’s going to be plenty of partying.
To complete the package, we spec’d out a pair of Forced Performance 6875 turbos and a bolt-together converter from Circle D Specialties. A combination that’s ready to put all 427 cubic inches to work!
Underneath it all is a purpose-built 427 LS engineered to take a beating and keep coming back for more.
Here’s what went into this one:
🔧 Pistons 👉 CPCarrillo Pistons & Rods
🔧 Connecting rods 👉 Callies Performance Products
🔧 Crankshaft & block 👉 Dart Machinery
🔧 Fasteners 👉 Automotive Racing Products Inc.
🔧 Camshaft, rockers & intake 👉 Brian Tooley Racing & CHE Precision Inc.
🔧 Balancer 👉 ATI PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC
🔧 Cylinder heads 👉 Our 11-degree heads, finished by Hoopers Heads
🔧 Valve springs 👉 PAC Racing Springs

We can’t wait to see The Goatee hit the streets and make some passes. This one should be a riot!
Next is Matt Elliott on the keys to make some serious power.
Battle proven. Ready for war. 🇺🇸
