Response to More video !

Ha, good coverage! I heard you say "oh yeah" on that last video, haha. I enjoy watching the progress of all of these projects on the forum. From the sounds of that motor, it should do well for several more years! I am curious about the power if the block is not a standard CC block. You mention it had orange paint underneath, and I agree that means it probably started life in a car or a truck. I don't think Chevy built a 327 for the street that had less than 250-hp. Therefore I am thinking you may have a little more pickup when you pull water skiiers! It would be interesting too, to see if the cam is original or if it's an automotive cam. The sound of the motor idling with water shooting out the back is very enticing. Can you wait until springtime for a water test? Howard
