rare block help please Posted By: spinum On: 01-03-2008 @ 06:48:55 Reply | Edit I have a 327 or block that takes 2 distributers I was told.I got it with only the block- forged cam-pistons not installed.Never been bored so its a easy rebuld as I am kinda starting from scratch lol.Weird thing is is takes 2 distributers.I dont know what the correct value is for what I should put into it.Another thing the guy said it was a very rare moter.I just don't want to dump a bunch of money into ordering quality parts if its just a low valued moter.I would just get it punched out a little but actually it could take just a hone or bottle brush as its only looking bad from sitting in the cylinder walls from sitting no real wear.The guy brock it down to build it HP years ago then just let it sit.The intake and heads walked so I ended up with the block and the rest.I would have a ton of parts to buy for the thing and if the end value would not be worth what I put into it I would just assume pass.What do I look for on the old 327 that toook 2 distributers to be rare and or any rare identification marks.Im used to building 350 4 bolts and poncho moters -strokers.I dunno the most edjucated way to go with this one and what the cost vs end value would be.Too many variables so any end result input and or what to look for would be of great help.Any straight info would be of super headache loss.Please help -- 79 T/A 6.6 PONCHO punched out and Im good friends with the manly corp .

I think its a 283 but thats not rare or were some of them?.Here is the stamps off of it.Everyone one says its super rare but I have no idea why and my bro said he did not look but he though maybe 1 dist.Either way His mom said he paid 2k for the motor block before he passed so I had someone get all the numbers and stamps off the block for me.I think its maybe one of the old ss or vette motors.here is the info stamps.I think it may be one of those moters you could take to a 4" years ago for drag race motors but who knows. all stamps convi t4 948 352 180 810 h128 3896948 g11v I think from what my book says its a 283 but my book shows no rarity numbers on any moters as I am being told it is.I do not know the 283 well either other then I saw a few that pulled some good 1/4 miles.anyone who knows what I have please help.The original owner was into big money rare cars and motors so taht would fit from what everyone is telling me but I have seen so many 283s in the scrap yards years ago I passed on.They were like a dime a dozen back then.Oh I have not been out to my garage took look at the block to see if it does take 2 distributers .Many of you know i am a disabled mastertech so I will check it in a few days if I need to but I dont knoe what I am looking for on this moter to tell rarity.what stamps do I also look for that would make it super hard to find as that would fit the previous owners catigory and his finances were lets say unlimited. -- 79 T/A 6.6 PONCHO punched out and Im good friends with the manly corp .

Im sure the cost of the fuel injection system would outway the value of the motor if its common block -- 79 T/A 6.6 PONCHO punched out and Im good friends with the manly corp .
