N/A Carbureted 327 Head, Cam and Intake Upgrade
The first step in our quest for 1,000 hp was to improve the power output of our normally aspirated motor. The 327 stroker was upgraded with a new roller cam, CNC-ported AFR 205 cylinder heads and a single-plane Victor Jr. intake manifold. The upgrades not only improved the power output, they allowed more usable engine speed, something that would come in handy when searching for four-digit power. The upgrades increased the peak power from 392 to 470 hp. The peak torque improved by 10 lb-ft, from 386 lb-ft to 396 lb-ft, but the peak shifted by a good 1,000 rpm. View Related Article
