Welcome ! Here we are all about building motors, racing, and burning rubber. Feel free to ask any questions and ill answer them the best I can. It's all about having fun and building cool shit.
My buddy has a 71 chevelle with a built 396 and I joke around with him everytime he pulls up and say man you better give that a tune up its running pretty rough!😂
@@eagleals5797 damn that's good I lose my chop at around 700 RPM I only here my comp cam chop if I idle at 500 RPM, how can I get mines to chop at a higher RPM over 500?
That looks good but thats a lot on top for a 327. I know tunnel rams help. Thats a lot of cfm's for a 327. Probably would be better with a good dual plane single 4 barbell intake or a single plane single 4 barrel intake (if ya got expensive parts inside the engine) & a good 600 or 650 cfm carb. Put those tunnel rams on 427's & 454's & bigger...
That particular set-up on a 383 or 400 small block because it won't fit a big block (427 or 454 you referred to). OR, it could work on this set-up if the cam and heads can spin to 7,500 to 8,000 rpm. Being that it has a good compression and the lope we can all hear, maybe it would be good for a 20s or 30s hot rod? Just my thought, not saying you're wrong either, just speaking a thought
Why if it’s never going to be a weekly drag racer , would you ruin a beautiful 57 , why not spend that money and build it into a beautiful daily driver a/c and all , super tune too a 20 plus mpg , better than any new car you could ever buy ??
I've ran a bunch of them they were ok but the new engines of today will run circles around them .for instance I own a 03 mustang has a 281 cid eng.it will bury a 150 mph speedo.i had a 69 mach1 it had a 428 cid eng .top speed of it was 142 mph .see what I'm saying if rather build a bad ass ls motor.or a 5.2 voodoo .I'm 68 years old and have owned about every muscle car made over 70 cars all the muscle cars were slow compared to these pocket rockets they have now.by the way that 327 can only handle about 700 cams .2 4 barrels is way over kill that's why he doesn't want to rev it it would flood out
Pining the rocker arm studs will not work small journal crank I hope you use some good rod bolts and always trim that water pump gaskets much cleaner look.
Ole boy had this set up in a TBucket roadster back in the 90's I tuned it up and my mistake was taking a ride with him ,no seat belt nor roll cage he scared me! I've always been a Drag Racer knowing safety comes first,I'll never ride in one again, Also built a 427 or 430 for a jet boat I tuned it at the lake rhen grabbed my timing light and little red tool box and jumped out and said have fun I don't ride anymore! Nice Engine!!
Chevrolet introduced the 327 cubic inch (5.4 liter) V8 engine in 1962. The 327 had a 4.00 inch bore and a 3.25 inch stroke, which were increases of an eighth and a quarter inch, respectively,
