Chevy 327
« on: June 05, 2009, 05:20:08 PM »
Hey guys, I just learned how to rebuild small block chevy last weekend.  I have 327 in a 1969 Chevy C-10 and replaced the Lifters, Camshaft and Pushrods in my truck.  Now the cam has a .450 lift and .300 duration.  Let me know what you guys think!  pretty proud of my self for doing it all by my self and no extra bolts  :O

327 is an amazing little motor .. balanced, blueprinted, vette double hump heads w/2.02 intakes and 1.60 exhaust valves, 750 vacuum secondary carb on a dual plane Wieand she'll turn 8k rpm and scare the *crap* out of most people when you grab second gear :)

I know shes got double hump heads, been decked, got a 650 double pumper with a edlebrock intake.  how much you think i can get her up to? had it up to 6 today but don't know how much to push her.  I would love to get her up to 8k but don't know if she'll handle it or not.

Break it in before you go reving the snot outta it.

 Make sure it's flowing oil and that you havent plugged a galley,after about 20 hours of run in time and if everythings still tight....go for it!! :devil

Jager did you check to make sure your valve springs are strong enough for the new cam?My buddy put a decent size cam in a Olds 350 without replaceing them and the engine sucked a valve.Just thought I would mention it.

327's are good motors, my dad and i built a 310 once, 283/327 cross,4 speed muncie, 513 pontiac rearend, in a 55 chevy, the dash read launch at 8( sidestep clutch) shift at 8, finish at 8 ( about 50 feet from the end of the 1/4 mile) ran 11.80's that way in 1972, street legal!

I miss small blocks.  Ford made the 289.  Another great engine.  Was used in Cobras, and some falcons.

technically speaking, the 289 is still around. the 5.0L is a 302. a 302 is a stroked 289. a 289 is(i think) a bored 260.

 someday, i'll put my boss 302 engine together, and tuck it into my fairmont..................... ...

Nice rig!
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.
