Decked .040, Steel 375 fuelie crank, Forged 11 to 1 pistons, H beam rods, Topped with Dart Iron eagle heads 202/160 comp. mag pushrods and crane roller rockers . The intake is a vintage holley strip dominator topped with a double pumper. All the pretty black stuff was chrome this morning . i think it looks much better black. Afterall chrome don't get ya home!!!! Thanks for the feedback nice to see more gearheads out there than just me . I'm a horsepower junkie!!!!

killer71 · 07-16-2007, 10:42 PM

Bob 68327 · 07-16-2007, 10:45 PM

I've been on the right track it's the money that i lack !!! I spent approx $3000 in two weeks !!!! Hopefully some burnout pics very soon !!!!!

redhead69 · 07-17-2007, 12:55 AM

That ought to suprise some people! Can you say sleeper

killer

nplocoman · 07-17-2007, 01:24 AM

I was wondering what you plan on using for gas? do you have access to race gas and then mix with pump gas? Just curious

Bob 68327 · 07-17-2007, 06:23 AM

Yup I have acess to race gas hopefully a 50/50 mix. Not my daily driver so i can afford to feed it, build got a little wilder than it was supposed to .

**Yukon Jack** · 07-17-2007, 10:51 AM

Impressive looking motor! I really like the way you have it painted.

57sailplane · 07-17-2007, 12:36 PM

say.

have you ever thought about runnig e85 in your motor. it wont produce quite the power as race gas but it is a heck of a lot cheeper. just a thought. i am leaning towards this rout.. looks like she will run hard.. i like the black...

Bob 68327 · 07-17-2007, 07:00 PM

Nope!! Too many carb mods for little savings and possibly still having to retard timing !!! I don't like retarded motors they act funny!!!!!

Bob 68327 · 07-17-2007, 10:28 PM

Just talked to my tranny builder may get it back this week !!!!! More pics to come !!!! The paint you all like is plasticoat engine enamel chevy orange and flat black if anyone cares!!! Remember stock is boring and chrome don't get ya home

shawn57nomad · 07-17-2007, 10:38 PM

Hello Bob and everybody else! I am back and glad to see that bob has put his money in my hands, somewhat and that the almost end results are awesome. Love seein' all that I can so I can learn from Bob. Ole' Skool is the way to be. Save the money for the GO FAST and not the WHOA LOOK AT THAT, well maybe just a little of the last when you see the rubber screamin' for dear help....Thanks for all the help Bob and keep up the good work! Oh and by the way nothing wrong with spending a little hard cash at the local Carquest store...one more thing your..hmm...hmm(cough) SPECIAL OIL FILTER---the company that circles the problem---filter is in for that conversion kit that I sold ya..

Bob 68327 · 07-18-2007, 06:59 AM

Special thanks to you Shawn !!! If not for the midnight parts shopping it wouldn't be as far as it is . It's good to have someone around who wants to learn about this stuff instead of just buying crate motors . They are probably cheaper than what I built but you wouldn't learn as much!!!! Glad to see you got some rest and came back !!!!!

dan42 · 07-18-2007, 09:57 AM

Silly Iowans! You guys are all speed demons out there. Al I can say is keep it up!

gnarkill · 07-18-2007, 10:00 AM

its nice to see another 327ci built like hell! Check out my engine man were in the same boat here...

Bob 68327 · 07-18-2007, 04:59 PM

That must be a roller cam or a typing error? Sounds great !!!!

BB72CHEVKT · 07-18-2007, 05:10 PM

Where did you get those center caps? Do they make them for the 73-87
6 lug rally wheels?

Bob 68327 · 07-18-2007, 05:16 PM

Bought them at Good Guys in Des Moines don't know who makes em'. I think I know what wheels you are talking about but I don't know availability. Sorry If you make a new thread I think I saw some on a truck in here somewhere!!
