i read some of the the other post on the 327 but didnt want to take anything away from his post. im currently working a 61 nomad wagon and have a 327 for it. i stripped it all, and basically tossed everything, only thing there is the block and heads. i plan on driving it daily so im here to get suggestions. everyone has different tastes and philosophies, i just have no idea about motors. on the edelbrock page couldnt see the differences between the Torker II and Perfomer packages except the RPM ranges. im really naive when it comes to motors. want something fast but that is not going to overheat. things i wanted to run on the motor were: electric water pump, a serpentine kit (such as one without the compressor found on street and perfomance, with a mini power steering pump). running dual electric fans as well. i have no ideas about heads, roller rockers or not, what car, what manifold. please bare with me if i sound naive, i really am. any suggestions? i dont want a big throaty sounding car, if anyone has seen nash bridges, would like my engine to sound like the cuda when running. just very smooth, which i know has to do a lot with the exhaust. thanks for everyones help.
