Thread: Need some help with my 327

Tweet

Since the 327's came with hp anywhere from about 250-340 hp (360 with FI) even if your block is one of the lower hp ones it can still be built with more pep. Good heads would be a major improvement, and some of the aluminum ones are pretty reasonable now, if you compare the cost of having iron ones done up. If your pistons are flat top they should make about 9-9.5 cr depending on head volume. Add a nice hydraulic cam, aluminum intake, and a carb around 600 cfms, and it will run very well.

In some respects the 327 has more "cool" factor than having a 350 in there. Everybody loves them. probably because we grew up with them and never ended that love affair. A buddy of mine bought a 64 Vette 327/340 horse and when he wanted a backseat to take some chick out he would trade me for the night and use my 64 Chevy convertible. At the end of the night I never wanted to give him the vette back, it was one cool little ride. That baby would haul !
