Thread: 302 or a 327,sbc any help would be great,

Tweet

I am running a Chevy 302 in my 914. Great revver and matches the car perfectly. Of course the car is a simdge over 2000 pounds and geared to rev high.
For a street car that is heavier, a 327 is probably better. The 302 has zero torque down low, which is why I chose it, my gearbox will not hold up. The 327 is a good combination of revs and torque, but the 302 is good for the wow factor, or if you feel like arguing with people all the time about weather or not Chevy built a 302. The 302 will be a it more pricey to build as well, the pistons are not cheap.
