Thread: Need some help with my 327

Tweet

Ah yes, the legendary 30-30 cam. We all had to have one or you just weren't cool. And if you didn't have one you pulled the vacuum line off and lied.
Don

I still have an Isky 30/30 in the garage

well i dont think my 327 was a low hp motor.
i got it with a 650 carb/eldebrock intake/its bored 40 over/machined crank/has a cam not a stock can tell by lobes but not to big either.i think they threw the 911 heads on for what idk? it says my engine factory wasa 210-275 hp motor and its a turbo fire 327.

what happened was the engine sat in a shed for few months carb open
low on oil
last winter i pulled the top end off and relized it was 40 over well i relized it was fresh rebuild he didnt run much do to probls(jail) and it got some seface in the walls on some cylinders. After some marvel oil hand turning it turns over good.
pulled the pan off wich is new and the end main bearing cap and looked at bearings ...New also you cant still see the hone marks in cylinders.



Plans are to pull crank out/pistons have the cylinders deglased see if that will take the rust out if so new rings and gasket set/ pull cam check # see what it is go bigger and find a decent good heads.


Or what sone good things to do to get more hp out of it $all at or under $1k
