That 327 is, I think, one of the best engines GM ever made. However, since I'm weird, I gotta say, my favorite is the old leaning tower of power. You can't kill 'em with a rock.

i threw a rod after a "reputable" company rebuilt my slant six.... number four. engine was still running after it made a bay window in the block.

I agree about the 327. -- And I have known people that have run those slant six engines forever, they're a great engines.

[@TheSleepyMechanic0524]

I prefer the Ford 300 over the slanty personally.

[@RabidSnot]

I own three of these, one is a '65 300hp Corvette the other is a '66 275hp SS Impala mtr, and 1 is a '68 large journal 345-ish hp. You can't go wrong with a 327ci early small journal for power and at least 1hp per Cubic inch engine. Best GM Mtr ever made IMO and the 1st to give 1 or more Hp's per Cube. Try and find a decent one from a 'vette in the 60's now and you've got something most don't even care about now that the market is over run with LS's and that crap.. No I don't need 500+hp from a Engine to have fun and reliability. I'll take 375hp any day. Mortske (Kevin) lol Great content. keep up the interesting entertainment.

Hey Mortske!! If I remember correctly, those camel hump heads had 1.94 valves, your motor possibly has a steel crank too, I started my wrenching career playing with those motors, the guy that I worked for when I was 14-15 years old had a fuel injected 283(301) in a corvette, that would be fun working on that motor, it would bring back many memories....I feel a tear coming, by the way, that bracket from the starter to block is missing....their was a time when you couldn't give these motors away!!!!

Big ole 21/2 inch exhaust through rams horns manifold yeah baby

[@billycarpenter4740]

So true, very good motors for their time. Most all of us jumped to 350's or big blocks when we could. Most camel hump heads did have the 1.94 intake valves, and the rarer ones were the 2.02 valves. Like the 283's they were good engines to learn on. As you said, 283/327's worth little to nothing when bigger engines became common.

[@jeffbenfer3717]

Typically the 461 and 462 castings were 1.94. The 2.02s mostly had the same casting numbers followed by an X. When I was growing up there was a neighborhood junkyard full of old chevy trucks and Impalas. My friends and I hunted many of the "Camel Hump" heads out of that old yard. One of our best finds was late 1969 to 1970 camel humps that had accessory holes for the front accessory brackets.

[@k.g.kennedy9471]

Sorry they had 2.02 valves not 1.94. js

Great job Mortske, I knew you would get it running. You're right that engine does sound good. From the sound of it those rings came loose and I think it might have a 195 thermostat in it. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. 💪💯🔥👍👍🙏🙏🤙

LA 318 all day long. When I was a kid, I found an old dodge in the back 40 with no water pump, no alternator, and no radiator. Yanked the carb, cleaned it. Threw some gas down its throat and in the tank with a new battery and it fired right off. I drove that truck around in the back 40 until it ran out of gas. The next morning poured some more gas in the tank, cranked for a while and then, WHAM! It fired off again. I was shocked. That thing had been so hot the day before with no water pump or radiator but woke right back up.

[@ablueeyedmale]

Back in the 80s i use to work part time in a junk yard and i would take all the 327 engines. i never had a problem selling them. i think they were the best engine Chevy made back then. people would go nuts for the 327 with 202 heads.

Hey Mortske: Two things that the video showed me were... Most engines are built to run and you can't kill a Chevy... Duff supervising the operation kept the process to keep going smooth.......

[@patrickritenour6935]

Great running little mouse motor. If I remember correctly, the high performance 327 sbc came with what is called a 30/30 cam. It is a solid flat tappet cam. Some guys used to refer to it as a "3/4 race cam" meaning it was a great performance cam, while still being tame enough for street driving. I'm pretty sure I saw you compressing the lifters when checking for stuck valves which means that the Camshaft in that motor is a Hydraulic flat tappet cam. I would venture to say it probably still has the 250hp cam in it, with a set of double hump heads added. Regardless, any sbc enthusiast would still love to get their hands on that engine. Great job bringing it back to life the right way. Sbc cams only use splash lubrication so it's very important to prime the oil system and bring the rpms up to 1500-2000 for a few seconds immediately after starting to get some oil on the cam lobes after they have been in storage for a long time.

[@waynekopinski1949]

Howdy Duff and friend, i’m 79 and had a lot of Ford flat heads I love them they were a good motor, fords I go with the Windsor 351 only because it has a distributor on the front, but I’m a true Chevy guy love the small blocks😁👍

"that's a weird dog", they're all weird in their own special way. :-) I like big block Chevy's for all the torques plus they fill out an engine bay nicely. Duff high tailed it out of there when she finally fired! That thing runs good :-) Thanks for the Monday morning entertainment!

I am a "six in a row" kind of guy. I inherited a 64 Impala with a 230 in it that had almost 200,000 miles on it when I got it. I ran it for two years before the timing chain jumped some teeth. Most of those Chevy sixes were good. The Chevy 292 was a solid engine. I have a friend with a 72 Nova with one. He did some tinkering and makes the vintage Corvette guys mad when he beats them off the line. The Ford 300 was almost indestructible as was the Chrysler "Leaning Tower of Power."

Mortske, I have an issue for you to ponder.... mainly since I have no idea what's causing it... yet.... I've got a customer who has an '07 Suburban LTZ ( 5.3L Vortec 2WD ) AND SOMEHOW THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO OIL GETTING TO THE TOP END DESPITE HAVING 45PSI OIL PRESSURE ( I checked it with a known good guage in-line after the cooler to eliminate the factory guage or sensor being faulty ) whatever is the cause has just recently occurred because the valve train hasn't started ticking yet... I noticed when I took the valve covers off to replace them ( 1 was damaged by a now ex-employee and a badly placed ratchet when starting it ) there was a lot of carbon buildup on the inside of the covers that appears to be oil baked until it was dry. according to the computer ( checked with a Snap-on Solus ) The truck hasn't been overheated and has not had any problems with oil pressure or temps in the past 3 months ( I cleared the codes when I replaced the fuel pump & COP boots + plugs ) even with 20+ years of experience I'm at a loss to explain why its not getting oil to the rockers.... but I am more of a Ford hack so I figured I'd ask you since you are more of a Chevy guy.

A buddy of mine put a similar engine in his Malibu stock car after he blew up the engine he was running. Pulled it right out of his daily '64 Impala ! He started winning races with that one !Sounds strong !

[@jerrymclean8075]

I just picked up a '68 327/300 I have it stripped down now getting ready to have the block boiled and machined and bored out .030 over!! Still trying to decide what heads and carb I want to use! Great video! I love the old school motors!!

[@MortskeRepair]

Nice!

[@DavidGragg82]

My favorite engine is the 3.0L V6 built by Yamaha and put into the 89-95 Ford Taurus SHO. Definitely one of the best 6 cylinders ever made. I’ve owned a few and still own a low mile 92 SHO.

[@77yogurt]

Are there any of those engines with very high mileage? I'm not tryna be a smartass, it's a sincere question.

[@MortskeRepair]

Forgot all about those!

[@AndreMarek64]

Fav engine I've had? My 6.7 powerstroke. Fav engine to work on? Good old chevy 350 in a 76 K20. Super simple, and it's where I learned what a water pump was!

[@Thatonekid245]

I love hearing engines on a run stand without any drivetrain to drag them down. Just wack the throttle and they rev right now. Gotta say my favorite engine is the Ford 4.6 DOHC, got an 03 Marauder and it just screams.

[@dannysublett1014]

I guess my favorite motor is "one that runs?" LOL. No probably the 351 Cleveland since it was the first motor I fiddled with. On a side note your soundtrack to your videos is epic. I often find myself humming something from your videos alot.

[@MortskeRepair]

Sweet!

[@noname18463572]

Well, Since you asked, My favorite engine thus far is the 3.0 SHO V6. Had a 1991 in high school and loved it. Get ya one of those oil cans with the flex hose on the end. Great for putting Trans fluid in cylinders. Love the videos

[@michaeldufresne9280]

Man Mortske, that thing sounded good. Nice job. My favorite engine, 327 Chevy. Well done. Carry-on…

[@truthfilterforyoutube8218]

Got My shirt today. Here on the west coast gettin' ready to break out the V-Twin for the season. We'll sport your shirt come the real warm weather !

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks for your purchase!

[@joes6295]

Watching your videos is like hanging out with an old friend. Keep up the good work. Glad to see you working on Chevy stuff again.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks 👍

[@nelsonannett5427]

[@maverick5006]

I'm a Ford FE guy especially the 390 HP and 428 SCJ's . Just suggestion, take some bicycle inner tubes and place over the front angle iron to protect the radiator. Cool video, thanks!!

[@MortskeRepair]

Great tip

[@k-dawg3893]

I always have been partial to 327’s because we used to have a 62 Chevy p/u with a 327. Loved that old truck!

There you go!

[@darrylvohs5526]

I didn't think it was gonna start, good job! 7.3 powerstroke nut here. Currently own an 02, 03 e350 7.3 and a 99 f350.

[@daveparnell4044]

With Mortske videos, the longer the better. 1 h 30 to 2 hours plus to keep me satisfied!

[@MortskeRepair]

Good to know

[@edwardcurtis2709]

Any Ford, flatty's, Y-block, FE, 335 series, 385 series. But i am really partial to Y-blocks, contrary to popular belief they are a very reliable engine and can make good power. The first V8 powered boat I skied behind had a 312 from a T-Bird it pulled 2 slalom skiers with ease. My brother and I raced on 1/4 mile dirt tracks way back then and they chevy/ford mix was about even in 330 ci range. If you address the weak points, the rocker oiling the engines run hard and stay together. The y-blocks were used by interceptor for marine use. used in more industrial applications than chevys. Extensive use in racing applications, drag racing, oval track, and marine including hydroplane ski boat, and cracker box classes. They are still raced today and there are some really cool after market parts being manufactured today plus the vintage market. Of course I am old, but I've worked on all the brands and find ford no harder to work on than other brands. Keep it up, you do some really good builds.

[@error52]

I bit late to the party, but favorite engine - the Mopar flathead sixes. Any straight six will do in a pinch, but the Mopar flatties stole my heart.

[@study650]

Good video. Engine sounds real good. I guess my favorite engine. is the 390. Had 2 of them, '64 Galaxie 500 and a '68 Torino. Very fast. Also, like the Northstar V8.

[@RoadHeros610]

Morstke.....one of your best triumph yet congratulations

[@jeffrykopis5468]

Hey Mort, tell your friend that Speedway Motors makes rams horn manifolds with 2.5" outlets. That's gotta free up 10 HP or so, without the nuisance of headers.

[@rickm5806]

I have a mid 60s chevy 250 inline 6 sittin in a 50 Studebaker truck, with a 96 S10 chassi. That engine is bullet proof! Its really sporty as well with the Muncey 3 speed behind it, and a set of long tube headers.

[@daviduglem3213]

The 300 horsepower 327 was probably the most popular motor at my high school. (66-68) everyone with a 55 56 or 57 Chevy wanted one of these motors.

[@michaelupton4523]

Very cool video, awesome engine. You brought her back like a pro, papa should be proud.

[@davecarey7452]

Gotta love a small block Chevy. My favourite is the first generation LT-1. In 1972, one of the locals bought a brand new Nova SS. Back then, if you wanted to make a car go fast, you'd bring it to my cousin Mike. By 1975 he'd transformed the Nova into a high performance street/strip machine which included a cammed LT-1 and Warner Super T-10. I just can tell you now it was serious competition for a lot of big blocks on the quarter mile.

[@motoxjonny13]

I thoroughly enjoy the strictly engine videos…. Totally enjoy all your content but for some reason these ones just draw me in even more!

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@1970Coronet_green]

That's a sweet-sounding engine. Good job! Also, don't listen to the haters. If you wanna sing, let loose. Hey, we're just visiting. You and Duff dog live there.

[@michaelslattery2121]

Suggestion: Keep a universal link v-belt on hand for your weekend and late night wrenching projects. I'd love to see an ending compression test after some run time .

[@MortskeRepair]

Got one on my drill press I could steal in a pinch. Good call!

[@rickjohnson1632]

I had the same engine in a 65 impala back in the 1970s. I loved that engine, great gas mileage and ran beautiful

[@donnieboyum2715]

Freakin awesome! That was a rad vid. As far as a engine, I'm a GM fan... nothing special there. But my love is my 69, 4-4-2. Orginal power was a 400. But after 25 years I spun it and then built a 455 kick in the junk price wise but so far so good. Thanks again

[@ryanpatrick1644]

I’ve got a 307 in a ‘68 K1500 that was stuck and I used one of the old style oil cans that you can fill and pump to get oil in the cylinders. Worked pretty well and there wasn’t a whole lot of mess

[@MortskeRepair]

Great tip!

[@ryanpatrick1644]

@@MortskeRepair funny thing is I bought it for overhead valve gas job Mack truck engines but now I kinda use it for everything. Works on Chrysler V8s too

[@davekimbler2308]

I can’t believe how many comments are on this video mostly defending you and longer videos and against the one comment made ! See your very much liked for your talents ( or is it they want to see Duff is all ) LOL. keep it up Bud !

[@unclejay4644]

225 slant 6. Had one in an 85 Dodge pick up that pitched a rod, put a hole in the block, and bent most of its pushrods. Still fired right up and ran no problem. Every time we used it you’d just pour a couple litres of oil in the hole and be on your way. Lol.

[@MortskeRepair]

Nice!

[@member57]

Back in the 80s we purchased several rebuilt 350s from a local rebuilder. He put the 350 hp 327 "corvette" cam in all his "stock" rebuilds. I believe the cams were re-grinds but we never had any trouble with them. Lasted for years behind trucks pulling 36ft goose neck trailers loaded with livestock. Excellent engines, he was an awesome rebuilder. With the loads we were pulling we stopped buying target master new engines and used his rebuilds exclusively, they lasted longer and performed much better. We were lucky to get 50K from a target master. We ran the hell outta those trucks. Edit: I know I'm going to get hate for my favorite engine but it's the GM 60 degree V6s 2.8, 3.1, 3.4, 3.9 variations. Yeah, I'm weird like that..

[@MortskeRepair]

Nice!
