lil hoodlum,
When Wayne rebuilt your 327, what changes did you make and what power difference did you get from the rebuild.

It was a basic stock rebuild, long block. Cylinders had to be bored over .06 so this will likely be the last time this block can be rebuilt. I did go with a set of aftermarket heads though. Motor runs good and I haven't had any issues with it and the rebuild was a little over 3 years ago and this is my daily driver. I average a little over 100 miles per week on it. The dyno'd it to break the motor in and it got 338.8 torque at 4200 rpm and 308.3 CBHP at 5600 rpm. It's not a race motor for sure, but it gets down the road just fine and it has plenty of pick up and go. I paid $1750 for all the parts and machining except for the heads. It took about a month for the rebuild.
