[bullitt2086]

so I've had a brand new mach 427 engine sitting on the bench of my garage for close to 2 yrs now and was wondering if i can put it on my revo 3.3...oh it is a pull start please let me know i wanna put: this mill on the revo

you should be able to mount it using a big block conversion kit. If you do install a big block you will want to install the forward only conversion (FOC) to help with the transmission's strength.

You will need the big block conversion kit.

I have a revo with a bb myself. I contacted a user on another forum regarding using a mach 427 in a revo and he said that the pull start will fit with the new era bb conversion. He currently runs the same engine in the revo.

That's what I used when I put a BB in my revo:

That was a XTM 24.7

so it should work with the pull start?

It was designed for use with a pullstart. Sorry, I couldn't remember the name of the kit maker (New Era) as I use some of their parts on my beast.

Yes. That engine in the photo I posted has a pull-start on it. Notice the handle?
