will soon be starting to put a built 327 in my 73 elk.

and this will be the first forum i post pictures of the project on!

What year is your 327 Marshall ?? Before '68 they had a small journal crank, and the '68-up large journal block will accept a 350 crank.
The 327 was a good engine in my book. In '64 my two pals and I bought a new 365 HP 327 for a '55 Chevy drag car, and it was a strong runner. Of course we did a lot of mods to it, like aluminum rods Isky roller cam, etc.before we ran it.
What ratio rear gears are you using ?

it is one my dad and me built years ago and i dont remember the year, but it was putting down 420hp to the rear wheels of my old 1972 chevy truck. was quick. and now im refreshing the gaskets and putting it in my el camino.
