Bigblock revo choices!! need some guiding words.
ok, i have a revo 3.3 that will be a bigblock soon. i have 4 motors of mine to choose from and several of my friends that i can buy/trade for. the revo is pretty much stock except for a few things like the red tierods, aluminium diff covers, and the trinity pipe with a bigblock header. i plan to buy a tekno fuel tank upgrade, and get the 250 cc fuel tank. i am hoping to hear imput on possible upgrades for the revo, and info about the motors. my motor choices are, a teal head 427 which is unbroken in, an older picco .21(black head) that is unbroken in and has mods by ron paris, another older picco .21(silver head) that has been run, but still has good compression, and a brat .21 that has been lightly run and is near new. my friend has 2 rex 350's one purple head and 1 green/blue. i know very little about these motors except that he went to nationals years ago and took 5th with one of them. the purple one may not be run, and the green is used and dirty, but not abused. i know that parts for the vintage picco's would be hard to get, but my friend has a new piston/crank/sleeve from ron paris for them, and another picco that is is great shape. here of some pics of my choices. sorry for no pics of the rex motors, but he isn't home right now.

revo pics for any one who cares, i have the bigblock kit on it, and its fit for the 427. i also put the FOC on it, and have put speed gears to tone the torque down a little bit.

I would say any of those mills are gonna kick major butt in a REVO if you get it to run properly .
I myself would like too try that Paris modded motor , if he modded it you know its gonna rock .....

RE: Bigblock revo choices!! need some guiding words.
yea, i believe those buggy motors would have more than enough torque to get the revo rolling, but im loking foreward to the top end of those motors. i mean, a paris .21 buggy motor, im thinking speed[>:]. its narrowing down to the 427(maybe send to ab mods 
) or the new paris motor. any build tips for the revo? also, any one know about jp motors, the inerest me, but i know nothing.
