I am getting down to the point where I will be buying parts soon.
I have a couple of questions that I need some help with in regarding building this engine.
Stock 327 torn down but in excellent condition. I plan to bore .030 over minimum as condition requires.
My engine comes with a brand new stock dimension forged crank.
Edelbrock brand new edl-2201 rolling thunder cam
Edelbrock 2201 Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder Hydraulic Roller Camshafts & Kits - Free Shipping on All Orders @ JEGS - Free Shipping on All Orders @ JEGS
And a Edelbrock 7101 performer RPM intake Manifold , lightly used.

1-5/8 diameter headers. MSD ignitions. ( looking for favorites on these)
Howard lifters

Is there an advantage, that is worth the additional cost, to buy forged pistons instead of Hypereutectic? Flat tops with two valve reliefs.
Speed-Pro L2165F30-8 : Speed-Pro Power Forged Pistons - Set of 8 - Flat Top - 4.030" Bore - Chevy - 327 $365
Sealed Power Hypereutectic Flat Top 2 Valve Reliefs Piston | Northern Auto Parts about $200
Can I use the existing 1962 327 connecting rods with either one of these pistons? ( Condition is great)
I am planning to buy the Pro-filer heads set up with springs for hydraulic roller cam with a lift of .550 will this work?
SBC 23 Degree Cylinder Head, 11/32 Guides & Steel Seats
Intake Port Size: 180cc Intake Ports
Chamber Size: 64cc As Cast Chamber
Spark Plug Orientation: Straight Plug
Intake Valves: 2.02/1.600 Valve Job
Spring Package: Standard .650 Lift 1.525 Dual Springs, Steel Retainers, Keepers Assembled
Casting Style: Standard Cooling
Item Number: 176 $1090 a set.
Please let me know what rod I should be getting and rockers.
My husband likes the Pro-comp heads ( price and reputation of old )but I have heard mixed reviews mostly based on country of origin and quality from one set to the next. Most common I have seen are 64cc with 185cc intake runners.
Which flow better? The Profilers or the Pro-comps? I have heard all heads out of the box need to be torn down and cleaned up, is this true?
And last but least, recommended rebuild kit ( gaskets, etc) to go with these setups and to get the appropriate squish of .040
Also Carb preferences?
I had a similar post back in April. As I said narrowing down the choices.
Thank you for your time.:welcome:
