small block 327
« on: September 28, 2015, 05:14:10 PM »
Wouldn't mind you thoughts on this, of the C3 years 68-72, the small block was offered in 2 configurations, the general base 327, and a more powerful option whats the difference between the two in setup and performance?

Does I matter,  45 year old spec don't hold up with today's engines .
With modern heads , piston ring combination all those old spec go out the window.
Fit some new components & heads to your old iron and the HP will climb

Kind of figured that, but it does to me if I want to buy one.  Just curious to know what the difference is between the two i.e.: cams, valves, pistons.  Just for plain old curiosity, don't want to kill any cats.
