I now know what i have under my hood. But i want to know what more i can do with it. I am looking to get more power from my 327 with stock heads. It does have a 4bbl and hooker headers. I know that i want to keep the original motor, so no dropping a 572 in it. But what do you think would be the best bang for the buck? New heads? Thanks!!!

Running now:
Matching number 327
Holly 4bbl Carb
Hooker Headers
K&N Filter
New plugs and wires
EHI system
700r4 tranny
10 bolt rear end

 

What's your budget? You could build it to 1960's Corvette 327/350hp specs (350hp @ 5800 rpm and 360 ft lbs torque @ 3600 rpm). 11:1 compression ratio, better heads, and a hydraulic cam (GM #3863151) had 221/221 duration @.050, .447/.447 lift. Although that cam isn't a wild beast by some standards, it did give the 327 a good h.p./torque power band while keeping the car very streetable. Give yours a cam upgrade, but with that you need some better breathing 2.02 heads. Don't go as high with the c.r., 10.5:1 and you'll just be able to still use premium pump gas, or you may want to keep it at 10:1 so you can run mid-grade gas. Keep in mind that a lower c.r. will also lower your output numbers.

 

yes better heads,figure out how much power you can afford,then go from there.make it all match for flow, carb,intake,heads,exhaust,and rpm range,torque converter,rear gear

 

i can vouch for 69. i have a stock spec 350 327 in my 68 and it is pretty peppy. they sound good and rev hard. if you can/want to go with solid lifters to the same motor and youll have the 365 hp 327 vette motor. that was the only difference between the 2
