I have an '59 GMC 270 motor that is in stock form at present. I am building it to go in a hotrod 53 chevy truck. I haven't built one of these before so was wondering if anyone wanted to give some initial thoughts or experiences as well as any suppliers for parts. I know Patrics probably carries some stuff. I will run a blower, but haven't totally decided on injection or the old carb. Other than that it will be pretty basic. I have nice big tube headers on my 235 ('57 model) now, can these be tweaked to fit the gmc as well? Boost will be kept to a minimum, 8-10 lbs or so. Unfortunately I don't have the H head, so i will be porting and adding as big valves as feasable, maybe some homemade roller rockers. Seems like there should be some piston that is close in size that could be bought reasonably??? With teh 270 and 302 having the same stroke....how far can you take the bore on a 270...just assuming it can't be bored all the way to 4 inch?? This will be run in front of a T5 and 57 chevy truck open drive rear. thanks in advance, looking forward to this build...hans
