Thread: Chevy 267

Would you consider this motor and 200R4 transmission Ballsy when powering a 3500 pound Impala? My moms friend who owned the car called It Ballsy.

when I first started dating barb ( my wife) she had a 79 malibu, It ran good, but I assumed it was a V6 because it was so guttless. When I had to replace the lower radiator hose on it I was shocked to find a v8 under the hood... it was the miserable 267. I wouldnt spend any money on a 267 or a 262. They really have no potential for performance.

You mom's friend might be a pansy. To answer your question. No I would NOT call it ballsy.

I had one in my first car a 79 monte carlo its a peice of crap first week I had it the rockers worked loose then it spun a bearing shortly after...If its free or really cheap and runs good I wouldn't pass it up for some type of cruiser project other than making noise and going no where fast thats all it can do. Everything small block chev works cams intakes headers etc just not worth the effort.

Chev V-8 267 bore: 3.50 Stroke: 3.48 Cyls: 8 in^3: 267.85 liters: 4.39 Rod L: 5.70 B/S: 1.64 Block: 1.00 9.025 Deck: 0.055 0.015 Gasket Pin (Height): 1.545

heres the web site i got this from http://www.ag.auburn.edu/~gparmer/sbc.html#267

Just so i know for monday, i looked at the mortec.com/locations.htm or somthing like that, i understood where the pad would be behind the alternator but if it is under the timing chain cover mounting surface can i remove the cover and replace it without needing a new gasket so i do not damage the motor( it will be sitting another 3 months )?

OMG what else is there to say?

Nothing i guess. thanks for everybody's thought and knowladge given on this forum. I also cant complain as i only paid 75 bucks for the entire car.

I just recently visited my parts impala and retrived the numbers on the front pad but cannot find the listing for the pad numbers on mortec I can only find casting numbers. the numbers on the pad are K07 15 DFD. can sombody tell me where i can find the listing numbers for the front pad.

With GM Really trying to make emissions engines back in the late 70s/early80s, it takes a lot of comittment to make a performer. I tried to break to 250HP mark with my 260 olds, diddnt happen. It ended at 200, with more $ in the engine then in the car itself. It can be made to move, but at the cost of another car. Listen to the others, swap that sucker.

I plan to swap it out as i can probably sell it for what i paid for the impala itself and still have the transmission.

I finally ran the numbers, It's a 267 4.4L V8 Small block chevy rated at 115 horse power.

Sounds "Ballsy" to me, NOT!!!! Hell My Saturn with a 1900cc engine made 125HP when it was stock

hey, man, lay off. You also have to remember, there is a little thing that V8s make called torque. I would estimate that the 4.4 would make somewhere in the neighborhood of 190 ft-lbs. What does your little 1.9 make in torque pal?

DRG I still wouldnt call it balsy, especially ina Impala or carprice or whatever he said its in.
I love SB Chevys, but the 262 & 267 V8s arent worth defending. LOL
