Thread: 327 Build??

Tweet

I rebuilt the carbs as soon as I got it. It doesn't burn any oil. The performance is ok. When it runs right. The car is so light that 150 hp will make you think its performing. I went to my dads and went thru the garage pretty quick to see what he had. I remember some of the stuff but I found a 62 or 63(gotta get number)327 all buttoned up. I remember him buying it from a local guy who pulled it out of a corvette with less than 100k on it. I also found a 283 that I built back in the mid 80's. I had that motor zero decked, balanced and all that good stuff. Its still in the corner un assembled. I thought he got rid of that stuff. So I have other options. I may get a MSD Streetfighter and put on current motor and trick out one of the other motors. Which one??? The 283 does have a 327 crank, pink rods and the 327-350 hp cam(447 lift I believe). I searched around for rotating assemblies for 327 and cannot find any. Scat or eagle doesn't have them on their web site. I will at some point take the car apart and get it painted, run new brake lines, convert the 9" to disks and a few other things. I just wish my budget would allow me to do what my father and I talked about. I need some good weather and about a week to go thru the garage......lord knows I may have enough in there to sell and take care of the car. He collected Hess trucks and has about 300 die cast cars(1/24).
