Re: 250 to 327 swap?

How complete is the 327? Heads and full sheet metal or just a finished short block?

Transmission type?

Do you have the accessories brackets for the 327? Depending on year of 327 and if you kept the original heads, SBC brackets for your year of truck may not fit. My 68 Impala with a 327 had the Alt on the driver's side and AC compressor on the passenger side.

You will probably need:
V8 HEI distributor
Intake of choice
New carb or injection setup
starter
water pump
fuel pump
fuel pump to carb tubing/hoses
exhaust manifolds/headers/exhaust system
New water hoses
New belts
air cleaner housing and associated tubes and hoses
throttle & transmission linkages & brackets for them
starter
new senders for lights/gauges
maybe new fan, fan clutch, fan shroud(not sure if 6 vs 8 is different)
new AC compressor hoses if equipped and current hoses won't work on 327.
motor mounts

Sure I have missed a few things.
