'68OrangeSunshine: I would normally agree with you on the SB thing but this 327 was built with torque in mind, 305 small valve heads, single 2-1/2" diameter exhaust with a high flow muffler and a Holly 2bbl carb. It did just fine with a 2 horse stock trailer behind but that duty is only 5% of the truck's actual use. This is one of the reasons why I made this change and am so pleased with this arrangement I can hardly stand it! So wish I had done this earlier, would have saved me some $$$$$. Now...if I could go to a higher rear gear and a 5 speed OD tranny, I would think I died and went to six cylinder heaven!
