Street / Strip 327 Small Block Chevy Dyno Test

We really appreciate all you guys who watch our videos. I would have never thought these 327 builds would be so popular, after we finish the 620 HP 467 build, followed by a drag test, maybe we can build a nasty production headed (186s) 360 small block with a big flat tappet and a tunnel ram. Thanks again every one! Meanwhile my kid will try and put his truck into the 12s in Colorado's thin air.

One of the greatest engines ever built and I'm a Mopar guy. Super job- it's a jewel- enjoy!

I grew up on the 350 Chevy in the 60's-70's. My first car was a 69 SS/RS Camaro with a 350-300 w/3:31 gears and at the same time I had a 327 in a 1969 Chevy pickup which was a swap. It was an excellent, bulletproof, great mileage motor (around 17MPG in a 1/2 ton) and when I gave up on it it had 169,000 miles and still ran fine. I sold the truck mostly because it was completely rusted out. We used to put carpeting in the cab corners or you would freeze in the winter and the rockers were mostly nonexistent. I had it in Vermont when I lived there for a year and the coolant would basically be slush with -25F temps that winter in the Green Mountains but never failed to start, even without a working choke. Pump the gas a few times and fire it up, shut it off for a bit to warm the coolant up, and then start and go. Nice to see these are still going strong with all of the new tech. But, us old guys remember the days.

Da hell with the LS motor. Short stroke high compression masterpiece.

Sweet! We're building a very similar 327 for my sons '31 Chev coupe. I never got to drive a hot rod to high school... this is the next best thing! Thanks for posting :)

11:1 is key in the 327” engines. Just drove my 11:1 333” home from work tonight!

Yeah man!!! Basically 450+ hp ( depending on air density ) out of a classic 327. What's not to love. Subscribed.

Great build! I like 327 so much, I put a 327 large journal forged steel crankshaft in a Sbc 400 block, it now resides in my wife's Chevy Vega,,,, full roller engine, she shifts @8200 and gets her to WallyWorld PDQ,,,

I had a 67’ bird with the 326 and the glide. I loved that motor/transmission combo, so much fun to drive.

Never been a "Bow Tie" Fan, but what is not to love about the 327. They had a sound all their own and with the large bore and short stroke could rev with the best of them.

Wow, You guys did a nice job with this engine!!! I'm picking my 66 small journal up this week from the machine shop. 😎

Impressive 327, will be a lot of fun. 👍🏻

I'll repeat my comment from the last 327. Very impressive for a fairly mild combination. Especially in a small cubic inch engine with outdated factory heads.

Im in the engine business. This was an excellent video. Also an excellent build. Very professional. Great job!

that is one of my favorite engines of all time. these can build a lot more power if desired.

My favorite motor of all time. Just listen at her run.

Very nice build! The 327 is nice compromise between the 302 and 350. Personally, I'd rather have the torque for a daily driver - 350-360 hp, 460-470 lb-ft, 9:1 pump gas, 5500 rpm 350 engine with a 2500 stall, RV shift-kit TH350 trans, 3.73 rear-end in a short-wide half-ton, an early '70s Nova or late '60s Camaro - dang you've brought back memories!

Will be rebuilding a small journal 327 at the end of the summer. Thanks, this helps.

I was pretty impressed by the torque considering it is a 327-but 11:1 compression certainly couldn’t hurt. That powerband looks like that’ll be a fun pickup

I have witnessed a Chevy Vega go 11.80 with a 327. 2.05/1.60 small chamber iron heads. Trans brake and full manual valve body. High compression and race gas of course. It belonged to a community college drag race club. My own high school also had a race car and team. 78 Pontiac sunbird with short rod 383, iron 2.02/1.60 heads. Th350 that would hold each gear until high rpm, guessing vaacuum modulator was disconnected. Ford 8” rear with mini spool and torque arm. And 50 hp shot of nitrous in 3rd gear only. Remember, school kids race car. It would do 12.19@109mph. We were all “autoshop” kids. Man o man those were good old days.
