My son is graduating high school next summer and part of his grade has to come from a project he chooses and gets approval from his teachers to complete.
He chose to rebuild the 307 out of my 69 Camaro and have it on a stand in the back of my pickup running for his teachers to see.
Of course some of the stainless and chrome engine parts that we have been gathering will also fit on my ride when we are done. (my way of hiding the cost of chrome for the Camaro from the wife). Some of the questions we have so far are:
Can my 307 be bored to 327 ? I was told the block, rods, and crank are the same.
Can we run the engine on a stand with just a flex plate or do we need to have a flywheel?
Will an aluminum go cart tank with a 1/4" ID hose fitting supply enough fuel?

Thanks in advance, Ken

P.S. maybe this would make a good start on the T Bucket that I've always wanted to build
when you get down to the block bring it in to a machine shop and ask a machinist. i just had my dads heads redone and i BS with the guys there about 302s and 327s for about 2 hrs but to make a long story short they said the 283 and 307 have plenty of iron to bore them .125 over to a 4" bore to make a 302 or 327. but in your case the 307 has the large journal 327 crank and if you bored it to a 327 all you would have to do is order a large journal 327 rebuild kit 1969 - 1972. but guys on here say no you can't bore them that far when a machinist said you can so when you get the motor taken apart to a bare block call your local machine shop and ask them if you can bore your 307 out to a 327 safely. and if they say you can't find a 350 block and put the 307 crank and rods in the 350 block with 327 pistons and there is your 327 don't matter if its a 2bolt main or 4bolt but the 4bolt is stronger. but the crank journals on 307 and 327 are the same size as a 350 so the crank would fit right into the 350 block.
