I have a 327 block and bottom end that I need to get rid of. It's been sitting in the shop taken apart for about a year and will need a hone job on the block and the crank journals need polished, but the heavy machine work (boring and turning) has already been done. Your 305 heads/intake/oilpan/etc will all bolt right onto it, and the extra 22 cubes will give it a bit more pull. Plus, it'll be pretty unique to have a 327 powered 3rd gen. I'm looking to get $100+shipping. PM/email me if interested.

 

Actualy... that 327 would be a very, very sweet idea for a 3-gen! would the motor mounts, etc.. fit?

 

And the radiator?

 

ALL SMALL BLOCKS ARE IDENTICAL ON THE OUTSIDE.

I just felt that beared repeating. The radiator will be fine.

But... as cool as 327s are, they really don't make the best choices, especially when you're dealing with TPI. The beautiful thing about a 327 is that it's got a large bore and a small stroke. They make fantastic high rpm motors, but because they are still short on cubic inches, they aren't going to provide the type of broad range torque that a 350 will. When you put 305 heads on it, and/or TPI, you are effectively choking the **** out of where that motor is best suited (high rpm). To really get what was intended out of a 327, you need heads, cam, and induction that can support 6500-7000 rpm.

A 327 is a great motor for what it was, but unless you've got some money to build it, and the patience to deal with a solid cam, I really don't think it provides the type of results that most people are looking for.

 

Well... about how much money do ya think to get it going?
