Would that constitute" crossbreeding of parts"or since the stock basic configuration of the generic 327 is maintained, would it retain legality?It's not like somebody put Oldsmobile rods in their Chevy, Chevy valves in their Ford,or some thing like that. Travis, are you out there?
don't know if it's legal BUT 68-69 pickups usually had the forged cranks.
the cars usually didn't...
