hey everyone. ive got a 79 camaro with a 305 in it rite now. i wanna take it out and either put a 327 or a 350 in it. the problem is is that the 350 is just a bare block so i have to get everything to get it going. the 327 is complete but its been sitting under a cover behind a barn for along time so it probably needs to be rebuilt also. Which one should i put my money into?

 

well if you have a 350, you mise well stroke it out to a 383 to get more power for not much more money. you can get 383 stroker kits on summit racing.

 

i can probably get the 327 running for practicly nothing though. but wont have as much power as the 350.

 

personally i would go for the 350, much more common block and replacement parts are easier to come by, not to mention the hp gains

 

ive heard that the 327 is a pretty snappy motor. not as much hp as the 350 but more than a stock 305 rite?

 

Sounds like you want to do the 327. If that's what you want, then go for it. Don't see too many 327's on the road.

 

thats what i was thinking. is it worth taking out the 305 for the 327? ive never driven a car with a 327 in it. i know it would be worth it for the 350.

 

I think it might be worth it, you would be able to make more power with the 327 than the 305. How much power are you lookin to make?

 

i was hopeing for 400hp with the 350 but i dont think i can make that kind of power with a 327!

 

You can probably make that kind of power with the right stuff.
