Looking for photos......
Hey folks , The 67' just got here from Texas and is nicer than the photos showed.... and the owner was wrong about the engine.
He thought the original owner had swapped out the original (and optional) 327 for a late model 350.... nope its the ORIGINAL 327 and numbers matching.... sooooo I guess that throws a twist in the plans..... build the 380" LS1 I had planned....OR now restore the 327 (with some internal updates) ........decisions decisions. A customer from Ohio was picking up his freshened spare race engines today and saw me decoding the engine... the next thing I know he's offering his fuelie 327 setup to me for probably half what its worth...... how neat would that be. Anyway what I REALLY need now are PHOTOS of ORIGINAL 1967 V8 engine compartments......... I can find NONE on the web.... ANYONE ?????? oh yeah the transfer has a VERY hard time shifting into LOW range any ideas? |

I don't have any pictures, but I vote for restoring the 327. Numbers matching? Man that's awesome! Whatever you do, don't ever get rid of the engine.

I have the number matching block to my truck. I just have it sitting in the corner of the garage waiting while I rag out a crate motor. I figure 10 years from now a truck with an original motor will be worth a lot more than today.

How about a stock low mileage 68 327? Close enough?
