The 63 is running!!! I still got to get the holly blue electric fuel pump(just got one on i had 30gph) got to get the shifter and got to get the drive shaft done-got to get the exhaust done-then it be back on the road. Iv been tinkering with the 327 doing the little things this 327 will be a quick project i got everything but a few odds and ends and just need the holly blue electric fuel pump on this one two but thought about just putting in the stock manual fuel pump and later getting the other pump to get it in and going. I will take some pics this after noon and give ya'll a look see.
You mean the motor starts??? Sounds like you got a bit of work to do before its actually RUNNING. So you are running the 327 in it then??? This is obviously a large journal 327 engine??? Why not find a 350 crank and put in this thing. You'll notice a significant horesepower/torque increase. More cubes, and higher compression. Both the 327 and the 350 run the 5.7 in con rods, same compression height at the wrist pins in the pistons, so it should be as a simple as a crank swap. Be sure to replace the rod and main bearings too if you do this since you'll running the same rods on a differant journal.
Wouldn't he most likely have to change pistons too?
I don't think so 66N. Don't 327 and 350 have the same compression height on the 5.7 con rod? I think its just a simple crank only swap. In most cases you're right, but I am farily certain, 327 and 350 pistons are one of the rare interchangeables. Both are 4.0 bore OEM, use the same compression height. Only difference is, the 350 crank pulls the piston deeper into the bore to gain the cubic inch, which also will increase compression.
