new better video of 1967 chevy 327 small journal, hear the cam, rebuilt chevy 327 hear it run

[@paultice610]

Old-school Chevy thunder music to my ears

[@jessesoby7130]

Perfect sound I had a high comp. 327 in high school. Didn't know what I had, what a gem of an engine.

[@thaddeauscaldwell7101]

Great sounding engine. The 327 Chevrolet engine is Awesome . The first engine I built was a 327 , when I was 19 years old , with the help of my neighbor mechanic. The engine went into my 1968 Nova . That was 35 years ago. I'm in the process of building another 327 from a 1966 Chevelle. I'm going with either 10:1 flattops or 11:1 pistons , big cam , solid lifters and some other goodies. The 327 engine is my favorite engine.

[@teresawallace747]

My 99 ext cab S10 has a 5sp built 355V8 and the trusty 4 barrel carburetor setup to make it dependable

[@danmiller4017]

That's one sweet sounding 327 you have there. There are so many ways to go when you modify these motors. In 1968 I too had a 57 2 door hardtop Chevy I was proud of. Original 283 four barrel was the thing that got me from stop light to stop light in those days. I found a 327 300 horse motor from a wrecked 67 Super Sport and bought it for $250. Back then I had more money than sense and decided to let the local Chevy parts manager order my factory parts for me to rebuild it. You would be amazed how cheaply this way was over aftermarket parts. I had the pistons and rods from the 302 motor....11 to 1 dome top and the wild off road type Z 28 cam that had a very rough idle. Solid lifters , factory aluminum intake and an 800 Holley. Hedman headers ran to a set of homemade exhaust pipes fashioned from old 3 1/2" wide driveshafts. I ran cutouts for the strip runs. I cut 3 seconds off my quarter mile times at the local dragstrip after making the swap from the 283. I still have that 283 in an old shed wrapped in a tarp. Bet it's worth a small fortune now since it was running fine when I took it out. No-it's not for sale guys. Back then our idea of a good time was cruising the main street of our town on Sat and Sunday evenings. My 57 won it's share of stop light races and always turned heads. Hardee's still had the Big Mac with sauce for $1.00 or you could go to McDonalds and get 6 of their thin ass cheeseburgers for the same price. You could fill a 22 gallon gas tank for about $2.25. The gas was pumped for you, your windshield cleaned and all your underhood fluids checked by a friendly attendant working for $1.50 an hour. Those were the good ol days for sure!!

[@michaelgreene7385]

Hardee's sold a Big Mac? I didn't know that... I thought only Mickey-D's sold it.... Their trademark burger.....

[@mr.e1220]

I was a tiny baby, but I remember!!! Better time then.

[@tltsw]

I love the old school engines that being said everyone is going to the LS engine conversion. More HP and more toque. My LS1 and LS3 are just beasts. I do love these old engines and actually have a set of 202 camel hump heads and I have a 400 small block 4 bolt main engine with steal crank. I just can’t let these go because they are a piece of Chevrolet history.

[@yamahaguy1732]

tlt40s&w 70 these old school motors are way more fun I have a new Silverado with the 6.2 and exhaust and all that but there’s nothing like these old engines

[@hickoryridgefarms]

I have a 6.2 also but these engines still make me smile

[@olliewalker6406]

That's what is so great. All the newbies want LS motors so now you can pick up a SBC for chump change while the kids are trying to pull the 4.8 out of mom's van.

[@yamahaguy1732]

Ollie Walker nothing beats an old school carbureted engine they feel alive there is just something about them that makes us like them

[@kendriver9139]

Put a comparable 200cc head on a first gen small block and N/A there is no difference in my opinion.. Smallest head for an ls has 200cc intake runners.

[@haroldhprittjr7007]

Throttle response baby and yeah this video is great but it’s no justice like standing in the garage with it and super nice 57 love the old original hot rods!

[@MontecJones]

That lil humpty sounds so smooth and strong ....you just cant beat a set of good worked up hump heads mam they are awesome bro great job

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Sounds great! I know from personal experience it sounds a lot better in person, too. That's almost exactly how we built the 327 in my old El Camino in high school, I miss it.

[@mikehunt2190]

Most people dont know how wicked those 327s can be. Some would run circles around big blocks

[@timothymilam732]

now you just let the old secret out, and I tell folks my old 327 would chew up BB's, and they start calling bad names, but they just don't have the mental capacity to understand honest facts when they're told them..

[@mikehunt2190]

@@timothymilam732 i had one in a 72 el camino. AFR heads, crower crank, Carillo rods, solid roller cam. It ran like a scalded ass rabbit. It would rev to the moon and pull like a Clydesdale from 3,000 to 6500 rpm.

[@oldairforcedude]

Brings me back to my muscle car days. Pure music!!!!

[@gregoryb7485]

I know I'm watching this at a later date ,but she sounds good and revs great !!

[@chapmanmerchant]

Such a simple motor meat and potatos. Love it!!!

[@Antipodean33]

My mate had a Holden Monaro 327 Bathurst and I had a HQ 350 Monaro cammed big carb but his 327 was a freak motor, nothing in the neighborhood could touch it. I've always wanted to get a 327 because it sounded awesome, went like stink and revved like a 4 cylinder. I wish I'd seen this before I bought my fucking boat a year ago

[@hpelisr]

Great running motor's, it's been a long time since I heard a 327 small journal engine run.

[@Cougracer67]

Doesn't sound any different than a large journal 327! It revs quickly and idles rough because of the super light flex plate. When it's installed in a car with the heavy torque converter bolted up (or a manual trans flywheel and pressure plate) the idle will smooth out and it won;t rev so quick.

[@jarveysorensen5502]

Ahhh living the dream!!.

[@lindajones1592]

@@Cougracer67 Exactly!!! I see so many people commenting on these you tube engines revving so fast and quick throttle response etc. THERE IS NO ROTATING MASS PEOPLE!!! Not saying they don't sound good but with no Converter, Alt, P/S, Fan etc they are going too.

[@tracykooken2606]

Quick reving. !!!! Very sweet ... I love the long throw of the 327.

[@mikef-gi2dg]

Wow that 327 does sound good.

[@duncancox2243]

Thanks for taking the time and effort to get accurate sound! It sounds great!

[@shadetreegenius1102]

Sounds great... I'm picking up a small journal 327 for a 302 build for next year

[@bobbyd7140]

I could listen to that all day ! Nice sounding motor 👌 👍

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

That was a killer video of sounded like a was standing behind both engines. Thanks man that was cool.

Wish u were my neighbor. Cool

[@I.Live4oldcars.prospecting]

Sounds awesome. I love the 327's. My 63 Impala has a 327 thing sounds sweet

[@johnschuster9192]

Awesome engine.I have a1968 327 with a top roller set up.It sounds the same.Everybody knows that sound on my street...great video. Keep them rolling..

[@jongallant6054]

The 327 small journal was all the rave from about 66 thru the late 90's. These motors had the right combination of bore & stroke with the 462 heads. I beat up alot of big block cars with these lil screamers. Great motor to hot rod around with. High RPM screamers. Z/28 302. & 327 Sm. JL were the funnist to drive around with. If you wanted brut strength you went with a 427 454 tire shreaders. Good video. Flashback

[@frankspinazzola4045]

Grumpy Jenkins Blew away some 426 Hemi's with the 327 back in the day, despite giving up 99 cubic inches RIP Grump.

[@roadrunner1580]

great video my friend!! the only mistake i think was made here was the dual point distributor!

[@andygonzalez6356]

Great job Eagle Al. Sounds wicked!!!😎

[@ViewThis.]

It sure is nice you can rev the engine like that and your neighbors don't complain. I live out in the country with a neighbor far away who complains and complains when i rev my engine.

[@mikeb4808]

Hey Everyone. I have been beatin' on a .60 over small journal 327 that came im my 69 nova ss (clone) when I bought it 30 years ago! Great engine.. This one has always had Trw forged (mild pop up) pistons and balanced bottom end .with of course the forged steel crank . I run it hard with an old 4-speed and 12 bolt 4.56 s. . On a shoestring budget my best 1/4 mile is 12.88 @ 106 mph

[@adamUDavies]

Sounds just like mine , it moves my 55 hardtop very well , 4 speed with 9" 3.70 gear

[@electricguysvcs]

Thanks for showing. I have a 67' 462 double hump I am rebuilding currently. Mostly stock - I'm an older dude now so I guess I'm a cruiser - lol

Nice work. That motor runs sweet! You got it dialed

[@jonnu7772000]

sounds awesome,runs smooth,you got it tuned well.

[@kenswitzer4133]

Sounds great. I am building a very similar engine now. Less cam 218 at 459” but dart ss iron eagle 165cc heads with 1.6 stainless rockers and 30 over. I am hoping for around 325 hp. Numbers matching motor for my 67 Camaro coupe. Sure hope it sounds somewhat close to this.

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

218 duration keeps the tourques good for the street.

[@josephfine3394]

Really nice. It would be even better with 340HP 11: 1 pistons, just like the good ol' days!

Would like to hear all four barrels opened up to hear it transition, I'm sure it does fine, that's a vary responsive engine combination. Good build I'd say.

[@silicon212]

Those valve covers though ... I have a set of these on my '67 El Camino as well. It has the TFS Twisted Wedge G1 heads on it, and these are the only covers that clear the valve train.

[@edwindavis1304]

That Zeppelin sounds good.

[@clicks59]

Got one out in the shed. Pulled it from a rusty 68 shovel. It had a factory 4-speed, no console, manual everything . Not sure if the engine has correct heads and intake. It has a square bore cast iron intake with 2.02 straight plug fuelies. Unfortunately, I had the engine rebuilt and they tossed the old cam. That may have given me a clue. It's definitely a small journal 327.

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

68 was large journal 327.

[@terryandrews7271]

Chevrolet what can I say, When they bumped from 283 To A327 Even the numbers sounded correct, When I was younger if I was playing poker I'd always come up with a number 327, People would give me hell because I was always coming out with the number 327, 350 nice motor but nothing I mean nothing Beats a mouse motor 327, People don't realize it but if you got A327 set up right it can beat a big block, It was a bad-ass mouse.

i got 3 of these one built nuts out one with just a 585 l with 312 D i like the sound of the cam but the built one has the big cam. we pulled the built one out of a 60's dragster then blue print it and bell automotive built it .traded a 71 cst blazer for the parts and labor that i got for 500 the shop said this would have cost about 25,000 to have it dun ported the 202 heads to 204 and all the ports polished the heads and motor ported all the oil drains just to get the oil to drain faster 13 quart oil pan but they told me that it would do 11,000 all day long i had it past 15000 and the motor never blew. it had 1200 hp with pump gas no nitro. raced it a lot ,still running after 20 years we had 12.5 to 1 and then shaved the heads the cam bearings were line bore with bigger cam bearings custom made roller cam so it would fit the bigger bearings hey had to do this to get the cam in it

Used to have one in a s10

[@MrJerbrad]

Had a 67 chevvele bought used,it had the 327 with a factory installed hurst shifter with a Muncie,,,back then I was 19 and just knew it was fastest car I ever been in or driven,,,after awhile I learned that this car was special,I have no clue to this day if it was a COPO,or somebody ordered it this way...It was a stock looking chevelle with no ss badges and a simple 2door hardtop design.....But heres my point about the 327,,,I had to replace motor mounts every week,the torque just was too much.

[@kevincoward7410]

What size tires are you running on the rear of the 57 ?

[@eagleals5797]

28x9x15 or 275x60x15 watch my other video's I have one of the 57 at the track
