[bad64chevelle]

I have a 327 in the Chevelle and cannot complain at all. It makes great power and revs very quickly. The only problem I can think of is that I swapped from a canister type oil filter to a screw on type and I cannot get it to stop leaking. I know others have successfully done this swap and it doesnt leak, so I think it is just my application. I dont know how much power I am making, or anything like that but I can tell you once I get rid of the bum transmission the car should really move. I like going to shows and people always asking if its a 350 and they are always amazed that theres a 327 in the car, even though they originaly came with them. I say go with what you have since it came at a good price, you will make similar power as a 350. In response to paul I dont think the cost will be too much different between building a 327 or a 350. I know my buddy has a 350 built very very similar to mine and both vehicles perform very similarly, but he always tells me how my engine revs alot faster than his does through the gears. Its your choice, they are very similar engines, I say be different and use that 327!
