This should make for an interesting swap; a '68 327 short block with new heads (not sure what kind yet) and TBI induction (for now)! Within the next 2 weeks I will have this combo in my RS! I can't wait to get her back on the road! Cool

Sweet!

327 is strong... If you factor tranny loss then B's 327 in his formy was actually the strongest thirdgen on the dyno last year in terms of HP. That should be a fun project. Would be nice to have you at a gathering. You have been around longer than most of us but most of us have never met you. Keep us posted.

The 327 is a great motor with quite a bit of potential. and like John said the TBI is not as bad as you think, once you get past the heads and cam of crappyness Bashy Bashy

that comes with them.

Right on John! Hope it really gets in there though.....shoot, I've been saying I'm going to put this posi and SFC's in my car for over a year now. Sad

Oh, and I guess I'm one of the few to actually meet the elusive RSFreak. Cool

Hey John. How've you been? Good to hear you've got an engine going in the RS. I remember your 85 Z. My friend alex was looking at that for a bit after he wrecked his 85 TA.

Yup, I remember that day well. He made the mistake of taking it to a mechanic first! Laughing

Hell, I told him everything that was wrong with it! Plus, you gotta admit Ian, that car was damn fast for a TPI305! And after I rigged up the manual fan switch, it didn't overheat anymore! Wink
