I like the 327, don't get me wrong. But I would clean
it up and save it for the next owner. The quality of
castings and metalurgy convinced me to get to the
venerable 350. Nothing beats displacement. You could
destroke a 350 into a smaller 327-ish motor if you
wanted.

Gary, I guess I would rip out and dis assmeble the 327 to see what kind of
shape it is in. If it needs much more then a hone job it may very well be a
money saver to just buy a GM performance 350, then sell your 327. If it is a

The 327 is a good, sound engine. I had one myself in my first '66 (it was a
donor out of a '68 GMC). I dumped way too much money in it for a first time
rebuild, but the thing ran damn nice.
I think, as it's been said, you have to look over the options. The cost of a

I found these pictures of a Camaro and Impala Z11 with the cowl induction setups.
I think I read once that these actually work better but lack the wow factor of
exposed scoops and opening flappers. Maybe in Smokey Yunick's book.

Thanks for the explanation. As I re-read both your article and the web

Thanks for the reply. Did you notice any changes with the Royal Purple oil
with respect to idle speed? What about performance? E.T. or trap speed? Also

I didnt really notice any

tuning and weather has more to do with that than the oil though.
