327 engine upgrades

[rlplive]

Hey guys how's it going? I have a 69 camaro with a 327. This is what I know about the engine, it is bored .60 over, it has upgraded heads with z28 springs, I am not sure exactly what has been done to the heads. It has an edelbrock intake and a holley carb. It also has an hei distributor. I would like to switch out the carb and intake with something that will make this thing run pretty good.
It is going to have a t56 tranny and a moser 12 bolt with 373's. Any help will be appreciated. here are the cam specs
Operating Range: 1500-5500 RPM
Duration Advertised: 268° Intake / 268° Exhaust
Duration @ .050'' Lift: 218° Intake / 218° Exhaust
Valve Lift w/1.5 Rockers: .454'' Intake / .454'' Exhaust
Lobe Separation Angle: 110°
Thanks a lot

I ran a performer rpm with a holley 650 double pumper on mine and she was very strong.

What carb and intake are on it now?

The carb is a 650 I believe, does holley make an 870? How do you tell for sure without knowing? Also the intake is an edelbrock but I am not sure of the model how can I tell by looking? I probably sound retarded but I am not much of a mechanic

Ryan,
What's the list number?

you'll find that number facing the front of the carb on the top right side...you'll see numbers.

Is the intake a dual plane....with the carb off the plenum will have a wall seperating the two sides.

some where on the intake it will have a number and a name in raised casting.

Ryan,
The 327 is one of my favorite small blocks...lov'em to death!...espically the eariler small journal ones that can rev 7 grand all day long!

What does your exhaust system consist of?

Here's my upgrade suggestions:

Performer RPM Airgap
Upgrade existing 3310 Vac sec 750 with downleg boosters, rear metering block and idle circurt.
MSD Pro-billet drop-in dist

I have some cheaper model dynomax headers, but I will probably upgrade headers and I would like to get this particular exhaust in 2.5" any thoughts? Also I know my 327 is an older one that uses the older style oil filter.

Sounds like your on the same page...very good!

I saw a pic of your car on another post...very nice...your going to paint that?...looks mint now?

[rlplive]

Hahaha it is far from mint, it pretty much needs all new sheet metal. It is going to be a frame off resto job. Thanks for all the help I am sure i'll have a ton more questions
