Thanks for the info and the views! I have the pictures on my phone of when I got it and pulling it apart. Due to work, I won't be able to pick the block up this week, but I will get over there soon.
I am most likely going to go with the edelbrock performer intake manifold. I had one of them on a 69 Mustang I built a few years ago. Real nice for a great price. As far as carb, Holley 650 sounds about where I need to be! As for the cam, haven't really decided yet. I am still researching and trying to figure out the best fit for my build. I want the most radical idle that I can get with a small block.
I am very happy with the 327. My dad and uncle played with cars back in their day and the 327 was always something they just beat on and it would take the abuse. I have already had several people offer me 350 blocks for the motor, but considering the condition this block is in and the fact that they are so well balanced from factory and are high rev motors, I can't see myself parting ways with it for an easy hp 350.
rdobbs, how does it run in that chevelle? I have been staying away from looking at them based on the weight. I am not looking to break land speed records with a 327, but I want to move. No weight issues? Pictures coming soon! I promise!
