HELLO EVERYONE I FOUND A CRANK ON EBAY THAT I WANTED FOR MY 327. ITS NOT BEEN BORED OR NOTHIN. JUST GOT ALUMINUM PISTONS. on the description it says its been turned .010 under. my orignal crank i had was small journal so i know this would prob. work. would i have to buy anything for my sbc. also one more ? could i go ahead and put my heads on my motor if the crank or pistons isn;t in it. thanks sorry for long read. Later Allen

no! you have to put the pistons in from the top

is it also a small journal crank {the one one ebay}? and yes you would have to get .010 set of main bearings, clevitte 77 have a good reputation when it comes to engine bearings

Boring has nothing to do with the crank...Did you bore your block for the new pistons?


What's wrong with your old crank?

Maybe .010 will fix it........................

hello, my other crank is rusted up. 327 block has had nothin done to it. has aluminum piston in it thats all. just wonderin if it will work. with .10 main bearings.sorry i dont know alot about engines poncho62. thanks for all you guys help. have a good one.... Allen

Thats what I am asking for.....If you get your crank turned .010 , it will clean the rust up....You shouldn't have to buy a crank at all. Yours will be fine.

All Chevy pistons are aluminum.....either cast or forged. Yours are cast, which is fine. You can buy aftermarket forged pistons, but for a street engine, you shouldn't need them.

You usually buy new pistons when your cylinder walls are worn or badly scratched......and you usually bore your block a bit oversize to accomidate these. It cleans up the cylinders.
