Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)
the truck originally had a 283, which the previous owner replaced due to oil consumption. He replaced it with a '66 year model 327 small block because he wanted to keep the engine date relevant to the truck. The engine was purchased via Ebay from a rebuilder somewhere in Oregon. It has the Edelbrock Performer polished intake manifold, Edelbrock 600 carb, Power Pack heads, Mallory Unilite distributor, Taylor plug wires, & Pertronix FlameThrower coil. Other than that, the engine is pretty stock. The transmission is an automatic 2-spd Powerglide. The rear has 3.73 gears, which causes this ole gal to hum pretty good going down the highway.
