1968 327 reubuild, vortec heads or not?
I am torn on which direction to go and would appreciate some input.
I have a 1968 327 sbc that is in the machine shop. The short block is complete. I ordered a set of ProMax Performance cast iron Vortec heads. The heads are drilled for the earlier style intakes and Vortec style intakes. Problem is when the earlier style intake is bolted on there is a small gap on the top because the intake runners are much taller.
I orginally wanted to get the motor more or less stock and factory appearing except an HEI distributor will be used.
Stock intake, four barrel carberator, stock air cleaner, stock ramshorn exhaust manifolds, stock alternator brackets etc.
I am torn as to just buy a new Vortec style intake and move forward or find another set of heads that will accept the correct oil tube fill intake manifold?
Will post up engine work done, specs, and numbers shortly.
