Re: 61 Patchy

Looks like a decent base for what I'm sure will be a cool truck. I vote that you keep the 327. There is no replacement for displacement and the 327 is a powerful yet economical & extremely sturdy engine. Not that the 283 isn't great too. I just can't think of any advantage to stepping down to a smaller engine unless it was the original numbers matching block.
