I built a 327 for a customer's 68 Camaro. He had a #'s matching car with the 350hp and four-speed. I took it out on it's shake-down run and had a run-in with a local redneck wannabe street-racer. I owned him for at least two miles.

I heard the bottom end knock twice, then oil sprayed everywhere as I dropped four rods and the front of the crankshaft. I have no idea what went wrong, but it was so cool!!!

We used his 327 heads and a 350 short block. He was so happy with how much torque we could get out of his 327 (350). We never told the customer.
