Anyone have any experience with one of these builds? There is a 3.75" stroke small journal crank made that will do a 327 to 383 build,but I was wondering about crank clearance or other problems?

It can be done without any problem. We have done one few years ago in a 67 corvette with original 327 block.
my 327 will have evil things done to it :LOL:
fur-shame!!!;)Quote:

whats wrong with a 327,
:toocool:how many people my age can name off 10 top fuel drivers of the 60's in 60 seconds or less? how many kids my age know who big john mazmanian or ohio george montgomery are/were. how many kids my age even know what a TRUE HEMI IS. how many kids my age even know what a-833 means or is? how many kids my age know what dana,nickey, and yenko really were. grand spaulding, white bear, tasca. i might not be old by age but upstairs i consider myself quit nostalgic maybe in my 50's if you will :eek: :D AND HOW MANY KIDS MY AGE KNOW WTF A 302 CHEVY IS! half of them say i thought 302 was ford???Quote:

You don't know what your missing.:toocool:
my dad duilt a 383 it was slow :LOL:
:) Eric,I called you sir because of your knowledge and experience,which I admire.Thats not a kiss-up,,,,but I think many of us enjoy the 'somewhat' friendly,tasking/questioning you put out,,,not too offensive and actually keeps this website active and interesting.
:LOL: aaahhh torque doesn't float my boat neither when I can have a 283/327/chevy 302;)Quote:

what i find funny is that everybody is all preechy about bigger is better well then lets all go build 500 caddys, there cheap easy to find and then we can all be the same :D :LOL: wow i am in a fiesty mood tonight. erick with all due respect if your so hip on bigger is better then why arent you building 406's instead of 383's ?????
The last couple 383's I have built have done well over 500 hp on pump gas with hyd. roller cams.Quote:

I have several combos. that will put you well over 500 hp.
Ask me any thing you want and I will try and help you.;)
make my 327 have 650 horse !
I think we have talked about all the problems the 400 SBC has.Quote:

I still get kids wanting me to build them about once a week.
those cars are the worst thing to hit the face of the earth period. i dont care what they do or how much power they make. i hand out the time slips and the turbo hondas with 10k int hems till run 17's and 16's. the ones that run 11's have 50 k intot hemand they are buttass ugly and sound like a big fart! im sorry but dont get me going on those piles or trash.
Sure it can be done but it would be rather expesive and a stock block would not be my first choice.Quote:

Well,,,,then I have an urge also:whacked: It's either a 377 or a large journal 327 crank in an overbored 400 block.This doesn't make me a 'closet' bigblock lover does it? I just want the high rpm capability.Quote:

327 crank in a 400 block you are a crazy one those 348's are movers
unhu,,,,don' tempt me,,,,theres an old Vega wagon for sale down the street to put it in,,,,tunnel ram,2-600's holleys,513 gears,Isky solid roller,,,,,Quote:

Don't really see what it has to do with going fast in a quarter mile though?????Quote:

A 9.5 to 1 400+ cube small block stroker will last a whole lot more passes, turn more consistent et's and probably cost less to build. Even if the cost were the same, it comes out to fewer $$$$$ per pass with the big inch low rpm engine..... Just simple math Scooter, not a put down or an opinion....Quote:

if big inch low rpm is cheaper is that why big blocks dont cost less? im just saying, in my area i can find 327's and 283's for darn near if not for free. i mean moving to a 327 is like an OMG for me :LOL:dont get me wrong, if i was going to build a stroker id build a 377
gasser, they might not be cheaper but you will have a far better combo for the same money... i can put a 400sbc togather for around 5500-6000 that will run 11.5s in a 3800# car. there's know way you can do that with a 283-327.
thats cause a 3800 pound car is the wrong car for those motors :LOL:
Scooter, reread the whole thing....even if the engine costs more, it will last longer.... more passes per dollar....racing longer for the same money is what it's all about, not bragging rights on the tattletale for the tach.... I like high winders too. but dollar for dollar, a big inch engine is cheaper....
A big inch engine is great in a big car, but it's even better in a light car!!!!!Quote:
