Hi I need some help I just purchased a new project on ebay a 67 camaro I want to build a 327 from a 350 can some one help me with what i need to do the build up can i use a 327 crank in a 350 what pistion should i use and what head combo would be good thanks for any advice u can send my way

Is there a reason why you want to make a 327 out of it? Just wonderin'

I always wanted a 327 I have a 383 in my 76 camaro just wanted something different than the 350

I'm not up on small blocks, but aren't the mains smaller on a 327 crank. Maybe later 327 crank is different? dunno.

yea sounds kinda retarded to me what did a 350 ever do to you...what a trip...lmfao

The 68-69 327 cranshaft has the same main journal diameter as the 67-94 350 also the same rod length .The greater stroke of the 350 is generated by a longer throw of the crank.The piston bore is also the same.Use the 327 crank, rods and piston's together.If you use the wrong combination of parts , like a 350 crank with 327 pistons your pistons will crash into your valves. If you go with 64cc heads or less you shouldbe able to keep your compression up. Edelbrock,Jegs or World Products ,your choice.

Bore and Stroke for gen 1....

327 = 4.000" x 3.25" (Gen.I, 5.7" rod)
350 = 4.000" x 3.48" (Gen.I, 5.7" rod)

Now you can use a 327 crank in a 350 if it's a " Medium" journal 2.45" which all 350's are.

The "Small" journal is 2.30" and while they do make spacers to use these I won't chance it.
