I have a 1975 camaro that needs the engine replaced. I am limited in money, but have the oppurtunity that one of my relatives have a 327 from an corvette that they would give me. I was wondering if it would be worth putting in or should I just continue saving to buy something else.

 

i would deffinetly take advantage of the 327, especially out of corvettes, it won't disappoint you, they are lighter than a 350 and you can do just about as much as you can do to the 350, they are also high-rev motors, and i cars that i have had a 327 in, they can deffinetly take a beating without any problems.

 

the 327 has always been my favorite SB. those things rev to the moon, and they do it in quick fashion too!

 

id put the 327 in it if it was me. the possibilites are pretty much endless with what you can do with it.

 

327 is a good engine high compression in some. I didnt realise they were any lighter though. One thing to check for is on the double hump or other early heads is the lack of accessory bolt holes.

 

Totally go for it!
