Re: Early 327 engine information gurus?

What I get from my books is a 62 or 63 (although look at the casting date on the back of the block to confirm) 250hp motor based on the SA stamp. Also the "power pak" heads (thats what the marking is) and the little harmonic balancer show it as a low hp motor. That carb is worth a good amount of money to restorers.

As far as power steering brackets, look at 64-68 Chevelle's, 67/68 Camaros for brackets they used the short pump. That is what I used on my truck.

The only thing different that will need to be modified on the truck side is you temp gauge wiring might be the wrong length. 68 was the first year they put the temp sender in the side of head between the exhaust ports. On that motor, the sender goes in the intake near the thermostat housing.
