Thread: Chevy 327 build

Sounds like the machinist is through with the block, so please answer a few questions so I can keep up with your build and maybe make recommendations....
1. block deck height
2. pistons used (please post ALL info on the pistons)
3. piston deck height (I'll figure this for you if you can get the info in 1. and 2.
If you plan to assemble the motor without knowing this info, then you AND your machinist have screwed the pooch.
Is there any chance at all that you have cc'd the chambers?

I can DynoSim several combos for you if I have all the info.

Little difficult to measure deck height without the crank in place. I have to pick up my main bearings next week as I have been a little busy to head out, then I will put the crank in. As of right now it is wrapped and setting on pads staying out of trouble. As far as the pistons, I went with Speed Pro L2165F30. Proven pistons for a great price. I'm sure you already know the specs on those so I'm not going to bother posting.

Finally got some time to upload my pictures and edit down the size so I could post them up. Pictures from when I first picked up the block to when I got it back after the block work.
