just got great deal on new cam and lifters for my engine
160.00 canadian. But not sure if it will work for me
so I ask what would you do
327 engine .240 dome top pistons 76cc heads
edellbrock intake edellbrock 600 cfm carb
msd ignition headders 3000 stall th350 trany
b/m stage 2 shift kit and posi 342 gears
do you thing it will run and how good or how bad?????

 

I think it will run... and I think it will be somewhere between "good" and "bad".

Why the open chamber head?

BTW- Canadian bacon is good stuff, thanks.

the block is out of my 81 z28 the heads are the factory heads money was tight when started the build but the heads can be done at a later date

 

What cam??? No spects..

 

Ok, I read it, then I RE-read it, and I still don't see the specs?!

 

duration is 253 and lift is .525

 

It's a single pattern cam?

 

its a comp cams 12-214-4. 305h-10

 

The Comp 305 is barely acceptable for a track-only car and I wouldn't even think about putting it in a 327... not if you plan on driving it.

What is the actual displacement on your pistons? ".240" doesn't tell us much of anything.

The carb is too small for that cam (305). Not necessarily "too small" for a 327 but just not a carb that matches what you'd be trying to achieve with that cam.

A few more questions:
Are you rebuilding this engine?
Have you thought about using a hydraulic roller cam?

You say this "327" came out of an 81 Z28?? If the engine is original to THAT car then it isn't a 327. Which brings us to yet another question.... what are the "factory heads" in this case? Is it a pre-68' 327 with smog heads or is there just alot of confusion going on here???

All this 327 talk reminds me how much I liked my old L-76 vette. The old solid cam motors were cool.

i destroked the 350 to a 327 what im concerned about is my stall converter

 

Worry about the converter once you've figured out which cam you should use. They work hand in hand.

Destroked a 350 to 327.

I have to ask... why?

I'd chunk the heads and go from there. No sense in spending money on an engine with a bad set of lungs.
Where exactly are you headed with this build? I don't believe I can help you any further till you divulge a little more information. Is this a street driver or a race only? Maybe a little of both... maybe just a weekend car? How much does the car weigh?

just like 327s high reving engine for lower cost than building the 350 to do the same car wieghs 3800 just a fun car for the shows limited budget
heads will come later just dont like the cam Ive already put in ti it was a
compcams 210 grind cam 218 218 .454 .454 not to happy with it
wanted something a little lumpier not racing it but i do like to run the rpms

 

Say peak HP was @ 5K with the 350, you wanted peak to be, say 6K with less cubes?

Is that what you meant by high revving? You can make anything turn RPM
