Yes make sure you do, because the more info you get, the more it will help you to get started and hopefully answer all the tons of questions I'm sure you must have.


We can all offer you a lot of pointers.......

I hope you have a deep pocket book. Porting is expensive, and can trash a set of heads if not done right. Also if you're not going with custom rods, or the 327 SBC rods, have your stockers shot-peened and have the rotating assembly balanced.

327 sbc rods are a direct fit?????????????

[hypedz34]

im not too worried about anything money wise because im not in a rush too do it. list?

[pocket-rocket]

No, the big end needs machined narrower, but otherwise are the right length and both end bores are the right size.

[HayesPerformance]

Has many used these 327 connecting rods this way and had them work fine? If so, that would be a much cheaper way of getting light "H" beam rods for a 3.4 dohc then having a custom set made...

They still do cost a good buck though..

[pocket-rocket]

I don't recall anyone running them, but I do recall the talks about them being identical floating around, just wider on the big end. But yeah, I wouldn't mind having 2 to put on the shelf vs the price tag on a full custom set of 6.

Custom made rods can be VERY expensive... over $1k for the set. Narrowing a set of 327 rods should be cheaper and work quite well for most setups.
