250 or 327... help me decide please.
Ok, so I'm planning out a motor project for this summer (because I enjoy spending the day in 110" shops with 100% humidity in FL summers
![]() Let me preface this with - the original 307 is in my 72 and runs just OK, smokes and is a little soft. I am planning to rebuild it at some point, if even to only have on hand. So, I was offered a 67 327, the block is machined and ready to go at 30 over (though I'll give it a once through) and the doublehump heads will need to be worked over, they're not done, though are present. Included is a new set of pistons and a rebuild kit. OR do I pick up a 67 250 - guaranteed rebuildable - from the junkyard. I'm seriously torn here, the initial outlay differs by only a couple hundred bucks, both will likely need $3-400 in machining and another couple hundred in parts. Can you throw some serious opinions at me about this? I had a 250 in my 68 and loved it, and the nostalgia plays in a bit (plus a general love for stovebolts) but the 327 sounds like a hot deal. I already have the 4bbl carb and manifold for it, was possibly going to put it on the 307. Trip |
