When discussing my new small block with my uncle the other day we had a mini debate. Here is what the debate is.


Is a 327 a de-stroked 350, or is it de-bored???? I was under the impression that it was de-stroked.

Because I recently got a free small block from a early 70's PU truck. I want to do a unique build on it, and toyed around with putting a 327 crank in it. I want to do something different than the 383 that alot of people do these days.


Anyone have any fun ideas for this build??? Love to hear them


also, anyone know of a REAL cheap car i can put this in??? Early to mid 70's GM 2 door/ full frame car??????? ( In the NY area would be nice )

 

The 302, 327, and 350 are all 4.00" bores with 3.00", 3.25", and 3.48" strokes.
The problem with using a 327 crank in a 350 is you wont have anything but another 327, and only certain cranks will fit. Most 327 engines had small journals, and only the last couple years had the large journal of the 350.
Here's a link to a chart with bore and stroke info:
