Hello club hotrod, This is my first post here. My name is Nic and this is a build me and my old man are taking on together. Anyway down to the background for some basic info.

I picked up a "rebuilt 327 with a 2 speed powerglide" for $300
The 327 is the 210hp small journal .030. It features the original crank in great condition, The pistons are the older sealed power aka trw l2165f. The ones with the 4 valve reliefs adding like 5.4cc per. The Cam that is in it is a crane energizer 284 h12. The heads are stock 3876775 which means they have 75cc chambers with 1.72 intake and 1.5 exhaust. Which my intuition tells me will prob make it a dog coming off the line. It has an edelbrock perform 4101 intake and a perform 1406 610cfm carb.

Now for the questions: 1. Is this cam a little big for a 327. As title states it will be going into an 88 firebird.

2. are the cam and heads mix matched. (it looked like it had different heads on it but you never know.)

3. and if so would it be better to buy a smaller cam or better heads to get some launch off the line?

The car will be mostly a street car this particular motor is goin in to replace the stock motor while I take my time rebuilding it. for the time being the powerglide stays. I know I could go with a th350 or muncie 4 speed, but the goal is to get this finished as quickly as possible, as cheaply as possible without having a complete dog while im riding.

Any help here or am I just way out of line on this one.
