    Small journal 327 built to 383?

     



    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.

    It was meant for Scooter and he is not old enough to even talk about "nostalgia".

    Oh,calling me sir is about like putting an elevator in an out-house.
    I guess I am damn near 40.L.O.L.

    Not a thing.
    I wish you would install a 3.75 stroke crank.
    You don't know what your missing.

    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.
