truck engine and car engine?

they are a 427 BB in a big truck and i was thinking about buying it and putting it in my 67 camaro. They guy said that i need a car engine for my car he said i need more of a torque engine. If i do get it what do i need to do to it if anything it looks pure stock. I dont have the casting numbers but i believe we will buy it anyway we are going to offer him 300.00 for it and you cant find big blocks anymore.

It's probably a tall deck block, will require different parts (rods / pistons) than a car engine and spacers for a car intake. Might have hood clearance issues. But it's been done for the same reason you are considering doing it, availability.

other than being a tall deck it should be fine..

usually truck motors are built for alot more torue than HP.

If your looking to build the motor you might run into some problems tho; but nothing to big.
