Hi Guys
I'm rebuilding a 327 for my 1956 chevy truck 3100.
I want to rebuild the engine myself, I was a diesel mechanic last century so I have some skills, but none in head cam/tec stuff.
I've done a lot of browsing, reading but not quite got the stuff I need.
Ive got a Small journal 327, std bore needs a rebuild (no I don't want a crate engine thanks all the same). edelbrock rpm intake, HEI dizzy, no headers or carb yet.
th350 trans, 2x 10 bolt diff's - 2.7 open and 3.4 posi, plan to run 265-70-15.
The problem I'm having is the type of heads available in New Zealand is limited, and importing them is expensive, try 2 times the cost in the states.
I have found some heads $1270 for a set, but come with 2.02 intake 180cc, 1.6 exhaust 70cc and 64cc chamber, are these too big for my combo? or can I make these work with the right cam, carb, exhaust or rear end gearing choice?
Oh I better mention fuel is $2 per litre or $7.75 per gallon.
Cheers Chris
