Is it a genuine 4"bore block? Not a 307 bored out etc. Is it still std bore(4") or has it been previously bored out?
If you are able to bore it .030"oversize safely, I would build a 383 out of it. Use 400 crank and rods and 350 forged pistons.

Hi Sandman

if its a soughtafter casting, sell your 327 as a runner.
buy a 350 4 bolt vortec long, with better heads than any early casting for $2880.

ditch the block for a 350 chev bare block if it's 60thou over, they are about as cheap as a 308 block, there are a couple on ebay. Get an Eagle stroker crank (383) about $350 from most speed shops. pistons to suit, etc, you should get change for $1000 exc

The old Cast chev blocks are virtually worthless these days, - $100. a 308 block would probably be worth more. HQ sandman, you still haven't given us the casting number of the block, i sold a 60 thou 327 AUS for $2K over 5 years ago!. so it still mayb Edited by user Tuesday, 4 December 2007 7:48:19 AM(UTC)

i dont think you can beat the 383 i just mentioned on value for money. Especially since all the ancilliaries are interchangeable. If your worried about cost, then the stroker is the way to go.

STroker kits are for large journal, - i assume.
which, its a fairly good chance it is a small journal. 1962-67
Large journal 68-69.
But, it did have a Saginaw behind it, so he may be extra lucky, |

alright, whatever you like, but i'm telling you you'll be pleased with the 350, and the 327 doesn't have nearly as many parts following.
