327 Chevy Engine On Stand Running Motor

That sounds sooo good

@gmchevy000 only about 20 minutes to break in the flat tappit cam.

whats the break in time on a new motor??

Engine stock 10:1 compression, stock Chevy 11-inch flywheel (doesn’t make much difference believe it or not)

what kind of flywheel and what compression are you running? its sure got some snap into that response and love it :] keep it up man

that engine belongs about 5 feet to the left

You have to break it in either way. But it’s definitely fun to do it this way, too.

very nice and an awesome way to break it in before you install it . then you wont have to baby your baby.

She sounds sweet. Gotta love the classic 327.

I don’t have any other pics, but if you look around, you can probably find plans to build your own.

right on. is there any chance i could get some pictures of it so i could make my own?

made in the garage with angle iron and a mig welder

did you fab up this engine stand or is it available from a place like napa

Try local swap meets from reputable dealers. It’s def. not a cheap hobby.

thanks i gotta try to figure out what all has been done to it already where could i find these items at good prices?

Put in a Comp Cams XE274 camshaft, a set of 1.94 double hump heads, 4-barrel manifold & carb of your choice and headers. That will do it.

what is something i can do to my 327 to beef it up but not tear the motor or my wallet up?

It’s a CompCams XE274, around .490 lift. It’s a stock 300hp motor. You could go with a more radical cam than this..like a XE284..there are tons of others.

holy crap ,fella ,that sounds bitchin ,.. any idea wot cam ure using.. ive got a 327 462 heads 11.25 pistons lookig for a nasty cam for street and weekend racing.. oooh that sounds sweet

alrighty it soundz awesome tho’

it’s not for sale, it’s in a ’37 olds now

is this for sale?

Man super nice I have a 327 30 over in a 82 camaro that kicking 350s and 383s, I have
84 chevy S10 with tpi 350 40 motor. The 327 blows the door off of it. I had back in the 70s a 65 impala ss 327 30 motor 411 rear had the old girl running low 11s to high 10s this motor love to rev high. I will put the chevy s10 on youtube soon and the camaro all so check out kzkicking on youtube

high rod length to stroke ratio. I always liked the way 283′s reved. I have talked with guys that had 301′s. The redline is past what an unmodified valve train can live with. 8500 rpm +
Smokey Yunick was a genious and a big advocate of high bore to stroke ratio engines.
He & his guys made a 2.2″ stroke crank for a 283 & turbocharded it. The result was over 1000hp In a Formula 1 race car & made alot of high priced cars look inferior & silly.
RIP Henry “Smokey” Yunick… God Speed.

sorry, i meant use the 327 block with the 283 crank and you still get a 301/302. probably my favorite engine of all time.
