Can someone educate me on these with real dyno and track numbers. Not "The TSM says it has 270 hp, 300 with duals, so it will run 14s" crap.

I take it there's zero track time on these motors. My Neighbor has a 287 (punched to a 327 according to him) with a 1 bbl sized 2bbl that carry's the front wheels through three gears, does 210 mph and has never been beat in some primered up 4 door Rambler. They laid the same dumb story on the guy I work with who actually ran low 8s in the 1/4, but their car was faster. 327!!!!!!!!!!

The 327 was a strong engine for its day . Big 3 junk needed work and aftermarket help to make as much power as that stock 327.

Truth be told, it's probably a lot more reliable than a lot of engines of its day.

Everything back in the 60s was 17s or slower then?

The 327 was a fifties design. I think it was in 57. It was a hot engine in that time. Granted rambler wasn't selling corvettes or tbirds and performance wasn't ramblers image. I don't know what times a vette or tbird could muster in 57, but they weren't gonna be what a 67 big block vette would do. But I would venture to say, if I had a 327 in my 69 jav back in 69, instead of the 2 barrel 200 horse 290 it came with I would have got a lot less sand kicked in my face. It's all relative I guess. Take a flathead ford. For its era it was powerful. Now compare it to a 327. The hottest supercharged flathead ever made would make the same horsepower as a stock 327, and wouldn't last half as long. So how much power did the 327 sc built make? What kind of times did it do? What chassis was it put in? I remember searching the net for info on old vigilante v8 powered rambler drag cars and seeing some pretty quick iron for its era.

Maybe I just don't get the question entirely. Did the factory make quick 327 cars? Or could a 327 be quick? Or we're there any quick 327's? Well history, as sparse as Google is concerned, says yes.

What I'm looking for is, real time slips and real dyno numbers of a bone stock (not stock elim) mill. Anyone ever do it? From what I read on the net, a dual Exhaust 327 4bbl is a 300 hp mill. A dual Exhaust 390 is 315. So the 390 is a piece of sorry shit then, since it only has 15 more hp in factory form. AMXs suck, cause a 327 Rambler Wagon will run neck and neck with them. 327 > dog shit > Child Molester > then the extremely pathetic 390/401 comes in, is how it looks to my simple mind. So Mighty book of Chilton or gaySM HP numbers don't cut it with me.

A 304 2bbl in the same weight chassis run's 17.0 with no tuning, 2.87 gears and 130,000 miles.
