Chevy 327

1) 360.24 ci

2) .. and change springs for weight

 Back then at 18 years old. Never bothered with springs or anything but go fast parts. Better springs might have been a good idea. But not to many of us messed with them. It was all big motors, big tires and air shocks to jack up the rear end. If I did it now it would be very different. But thats the fun of hot rodding. Learn as you go.  I had a friend that had a 409 w/3 dueces in his 65 chevelle 300. He sold it soon after the conversion. Scared him too much. 

 As I remember I did have to drill new motor mounts to go from the 6 to 8. But from then on I believe it was all bolt in. Even the four speed from the 3 speed was bolt in. Same distance from the motor mounts to the tranny mount. Cut the hole in the floor added a center console and buckets and it looked stock.

Had one in my 68 camaro close to that. Also built a chevy 302 (327 with 283 crank) that could turn 10k. You have to use pink rods to help keep it together. It was for dirt tracking.

 Shuf those chev 302's were sweet engines,69 Z28's had them for Trans Am racing and GM had to put them on the street. IIRC they stated 290 hp on the air breather...hahahahah.. ya at 2700 rpm they made 290,never reved 1 to 10K but saw 9200 on a dyno with a street legal store bought Z28.
Oh and I think it was pushing the far side of 430 hp,not bad for such a small mill!
ps: shuf I need 1 of those added to the blender your fixing,maybe thats the prob.... errr more power!
