Thinking about rebuilding our 327 engine this winter, well the short block only, its a -68 or maybe newer.
It has sat like 20 years in the corner of the garage...
The cost of making it a 383 will be the same as a 327 (331) i think?
It had a loud dull knocking sound when it was replaced.
I think main bearing noise?
This will have to be shipped to Sweden, and i have a freight forwarder in Delawere i can use if i needed.
My funds are limited, and extra costs like shipping and customs will add...
...so where and what (brand/type) should i buy or avoid?
The measurments i will take care of, so its mostly where i can get the best deal im looking for,
maybe its so simple as Summit or Jegs?
I will use my Weiand 177 blower on the engine, E85 fuel, but can change to pump gas if they stop selling E85 localy. I guess i can go with cast crank and i-beam rods, but maybe should have forged pistons?
It will end up in our Impala SS -67.
