Thanks man, the 327 started out as a head build but has quickly grown into more. So far I had the heads resurfaced, new stainless valves put in, hardened seats, z28 valve springs, cleaned out the valve guides, and new seals. The crank was polished and cleaned up. Had a little ware on the cylinder walls so I ended up boring 30 over with new pistons and possibly new connecting rods depending on resizing needs. It’s essentially a complete rebuild now, I could have ran it without all of the bottom end work but I wanted a reliable setup that will last for years to come so here we are
