327 or 292?
Which would you choose? I have a small block 327 thats tore apart waiting to get put back together; it's bored 30 over and needs a set of good heads.
The 292 is already in the truck and seems to be pretty peppy. I have seen a few turbo'd 292's but that would require a lot more work and money. Originally the plan was to just run the 292 until i got the 327 built. But with another kid on the way i'm thinking of rebuilding the 327 and sell it, keep 292. I want the truck to almost be a daily, no winter driving i'm in PA. I wouldn't mind using the truck to pull a trailer every once in awhile. So it almost seems more economical to use the 292 assuming it would get better gas. |
Re: 327 or 292?
The 292 is already paid for and runs well so I say run it.
If I may offer some further advice, you might want to run some liquid detergent through it before your next oil change to clean up the internals then put Mobile 1 full synthetic back in it, other than that let her rip. |

Personally I prefer a sbc over the inline six but there is the added expence of putting it together. I had my 327 machined and I put it together for about a $1,000, nothing fancy though, mild cam and bored .30 over with stock heads.

I read a few threads on heads and there seems to be a decent deal with vortec heads from summit posted in this thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=466358 |

1000.00 is a good price it cost me 1700.00 for the same thing. By the time I was finished I had 2300.00 involved. But mine was a 350 instead of a 327 still small block,
