You're half right! Big runners would kill your bottom end.Unless it was an all out race 327 in a light car big runners might kill it period.

Here's where You are wrong--- You said , I also figured its a 327 so I dont have much anyway.

You dont need to apologize for a 327, LT1 S10 and I have seen 327s in race cars blow the doors off much bigger motors in modified and other class stock cars. In late model I might have run a small journal 331 or 336 rather than the 355, But the smaller motor wasn't legal. Some might argue that there is no difference in a small journal and a large journal 327 as far as performance goes. Just my opinion, I think the large journal may br stronger,I think the small journal is faster.Most that used them thought the small journal would jump off the corner quicker. Many, Many Drag cars have used 327s quite successfully for about 43 years now.
