[Chevelle-List] 327 Question
Hi all, We took your advise on having the 327 heads rebuilt good thing to - the original motor has the power pack heads with small combustion chambers and the 350 heads had 76cc combustion chambers. We would have lost tons of compression. Anyway - another problem. My son installed an Edelbrock high prof. cam, high prof valve springs, Edelbrock timing gears and chain, Crane roller rockers, and crane push rods. He already has an edelbrock manifold and Hei ignition. We rolled back the crank to 5 degrees before TDC and then dropped the distributor (as edelbrock instructed). We have set the valve lash 3 times now and dropped in the distributor twice. the darn thing doesn't seem to time up right. Lots of power but runs like shit, misses and pings. Any Ideas??? We've been told the crane rockers and push rods are compatible with the Edelbrock cam but I'm getting a little concerned about the clearance.

Larry and Rob, Thank you so much for the helpful info. It confirmed what I was thinking and saved us some major head aches.

I Found a #399899372-73...307/350..75cc chambers maybe the #3998093 is wrong? 3) i found a #33417369 33417369...90-up...350..Gen.I Goodwrench crate motor,"Hecho en Mexico", 76cc maybe the #98417369 isn't right 4) I don't think the heads are the same. 5) If he has the 327 heads off why not have them redone? If he is just putting later model heads on cuz they newer it ain't worth it. Does he really know what shape they are in? 6) I'd stick with the 327 heads Larry (z)
Re: [Chevelle-List] 327 / 350
Thank You for the info. Here's the casting Numbers off the heads. Any further info would be greatly appreciated. Both heads "Made en Mexico" - #1 - cast #3998093 (other codes on the head are 90-135-GM8). #2 - cast #98417369 (other codes on the head are 97-014C-GM13). He was told they were from a 91, 350. - Original Message - From: Rob To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 9:31 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] 327 / 350 sounds like a good kid ya got there Rhonda, chances are he'll have ta get a differnt intake manifold as the center bolts are at a different angle. Have you'r son get the casting #'s off the heads and then post them on the list and somebody will pop-up with all the spec's about them he'll need ta know.

Question: he has the original 1966 327 motor. He picked up rebuilt heads from a 1991 350 motor. Looks like they will bolt up no problem. I know Fords 360 and 390 motors are the same motor just different stroke. Is that the same deal with the Chevy 327 and 350? Were there any design changes to the heads during those 25yrs to accommodate smog equipment that I should know about ?. and will they run Good on the 327 block or vise versa?? He's put in a new Cam, lifters, push rods, HEI ignition, headers, 4 barrel Edlebrock, and High performance manifold. (He's been really good about saving and storing all the original parts - so that's not a problem). He does plan on storing the 327 heads until the lower end needs work and doing a complete out of car rebuild. The car is running great right now - it just has an elusive top end tick that's driving him crazy and he's tired of looking for lead additives whenever he fills the tank. Any help would be appreciated, Rhonda Stalker San Diego, Ca

[Chevelle-List] carb / 66
Hi all, We are converting from a 2 barrel to a 4 barrel carb on my sons 66 Malibu. 327 engine, automatic transmission. (We will be changing the ignition system later). Any recommendations? Are the Edelbrock carbs any good?
[Chevelle-List] 66 brakes ?
Hi all, Brake Question My son owns a 1966 Chevelle Malibu 4dr which had total brake failure yesterday. We decided we would take it to a shop for the brake work to make sure it was done right .. so at the shop I asked them to convert the single pod master cylinder to a double pod and they just about freaked out. They said it was a whole lot of work and would cost hundreds of dollars. They recommended staying with the single pod infact they just plain insisted on it. I understood that converting to a double pod master cylinder was not that hard to do. I even remember someone telling me that lines from a pontiac grand am would fit perfectly. is this true?? do they sell a conversion kit?? Any advice would be appreciated. We are restoring the car and it is a daily driver --- wrapping it around a tree is not on our list of options. Thanks, Rhonda S.
