My v8 engine conversion is finally nearing completion---over the past 9 months I have built and installed a 327 SBC--10.5 /1 pistons, aluminum heads, intake, cam, headers, HEI ignition. balanced assembly, etc. Runs/drives very well---only have about 75 break in miles so far.
If there is anyone interest in more details about the conversion, I can post more info, with pictures later.
