those blocks arent that easy to find. i would go for 6000 max thats all you need save the block do not destroy it its one of gms jewels. it will make a 350 look like its standing still on take off if its set up right. my brother had a worn out 327 2 bbl with a 4 speed saginaw in a beat up 1968 camaro that poor thing had tons of power but it beleive it or not burned more oil than gas. nothing like sitting at a stop light and having to rool down the windows chocking from burning all of the oil .it had a broken rear leaf spring in the rear was scary to drive.hesold it to a freind and his freind had got stopped and got a ticket for exessive oil smoke. pretty rediculous. dont know what happened to it it was about 40 plus years ago.thought i would run that by you. a nice set of flat top forged pistons, 0.030 over,cam and dual plane good carb electronic ignition and hang on. you dont need any zombie ls stuppidity. just one screamin s.o.b ing 327. i am sure it will be a awesome street killer! take care and go after some brand xs.

I ran the block number on the internet search engine 3959512. '62-'63 327 2 bolt. The front engine serial boss numbers & letters are difficult to decipher.
