The 327/300 is a real screamer and a good runner. It will put a smile on your face.

Re: Chevy 327 300 hp
Thank you.
I don’t remember any running in stock eliminator and that’s why I didn’t recognize it. |

Wasn’t there a time they also Carter AFB. I know the 340 hp 327 Corvette had a afb.

Re: Chevy 327 300 hp
That engine would be fun. The '62-65 version did have the AFB, and the 461 heads. The short block was the same as the 250 horse, and the two engines had the same cam. They also had the 459 intake as well. The '65 250 horse had the 461 heads, the only thing needed to upgrade it to a 300 horse was to find the correct intake and carb. It would be fun in a '65 Chevelle, otherwise it was a Corvette or Impala powerplant.

Re: Chevy 327 300 hp
My memory from those day of working on and looking at friends cars with a 327/300 says AFB carb.....
Made for a very cool car back then.....327/300 4 speed in a '63-'64 Impala SS...... With a decent rear gear they were pretty snappy !!! LOL

Re: Chevy 327 300 hp
I was just a kid back in '63, but I remember very vividly claims that a 327/300 (say, in a Biscayne or BelAir) would give a 409/425 all it could handle. I later owned a '63 Biscayne 327/300, 4-speed, 3.50 posi and absolutely loved the car. Everybody remember the little factory tach in the "eyebrow" housing, in the middle of the instrument panel? 327/300 and 409s only, and cooler than hell.

Re: Chevy 327 300 hp
Not many 409's around back in my UTE but a good running Small Block would give the 409 all it could handle....
Only one I recall was a '64 Impala with a 409/340 or some HP rating like that, and it was not a real fast car. Good running SB Vette's were the shizzle, to me anyway....Nothing could run with one... Once Z/28's came out it was tough to top one. I graduated HS in 1965 so I was right in the thick of the Muscle Car era and it's how I got addicted to DRAG RACING.....could not resist, it was all around me !!!
