500 horse 500 foot pound torque 327?
Hey, i am a new member and i am planning on building a 327 over the next year or so. I was wondering what kind of work i would have to do to build it street legal, and with about 500 pound foot torque. i want to do this with a 327 because it is stock for the 66 el camino, and i would perfer not to have to build a 396 to get the 500/500 power. If any one knows specifics on how to do this, and could possibly give me an idea on what different parts i would need to do this would be greatly appreciated. and if there is no way to build a street legal 327 with this kind of power then i am curious what kind of power i could expect. thanks.

[B]Hey, i am a new member and i am planning on building a 327 over the next year or so . I want 500/500 power.:LOL: :LOL:
Lets see, New member, Welcome to the club. We are glad to have You here and look forward to talking to You in the future. The el camino sounds like a nice ride.
Now ! Wake up, This dream is nice but not too realistic . A 327--350hp makes a real nice street motor that You can enjoy.
The most advertized torque that a 327 ever had was 360@3600 rpm. That was with 11 to 1 compression and good gas.
You would enjoy the 350 or so hp. in your el camino on the street. Anything more you will pay the price in more ways than one.
Just my opinion, not worth to much, Its your money, Your truck, do as you wish. Good Luck and Again WELCOME!
Street leagal 327 pushing 500 horse???
Hey, i made a post yesterday about this and today i can't find it so i'll post again. i am wanting to build a 327 for a 66 el camino but i can't find the info i need to buld it with the power i want. I want it to push about 500 horse with 500 pound foot torque.

:( :( :( ---I went back and read both threads again. At least 8 of us have either questioned your judgement ot tried to stear you down a more reasonable path. We have and I have vowed to try to be nice and helpful to new members. You are making it difficult. I guess You will keep trying until you hear what you want to hear.
Do you have the money and the tallent to do all the things that would be necessary to handle 500 hp? It takes a real good suspension, good brakes ,good tires and wheels,headers and good exhaust,good transmission,good converter, good rear end,good cooling,good distributor ,good wiring ,good heads, goodcam,good valves,good intake and carburator ,etc.etc.etc. How much of this do you have now???
Forrest Gump had a real good saying. I'll let You decide what it was.
Be Nice ,Gene ,BE Nice And You have a great day,Too!:) :)
