I think the old dz302 was pretty sweet. Backed by a 4 speed rock crusher. Side stepping the clutch at 6000rpm. Ohhhh man that's rad! Uncle had a 69 z28 he would take me for rides as a kid. Loved it!

The 327 is a great, fast revving engine. Losing over 20 cubic inches could equate to over 20 hp on the top end (depending on how you build it) | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 568 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 568 | I had one and thought of de-stroking it and putting my 144 powercharger on it to make up for lost torque and hp. Make it up on the top end. In the end I got rid of both. I've gone through a lot of motors and upgrades in my short time. Helps when your dad runs a performance shop/ gm dealer.
