The price is still outlandish.....but DAMN that is clean as hell! Interior looks better than most S550's!
Wait... Let's break this down:
The Ad says it's a 327 bored out to 350. It may be true that a 327 and 350 come with the same bore but you can still "over bore" a 327 until the total displacement is 350. The two engines have different strokes to account for differences in factory displacement.
It doesn't mention 4-bolt so, I imagine it's a regular ole' run-of-mil 327 that if I remember right, already made more power than most flat-tappet 350s wearing the same gear.
What did I miss?

Can you bore a 327 out from 4.0 to 4.135? Is there that much material in a factory block?
To get 350 cid out of a 3.25" stroke engine, it needs a 4.135 bore.
I especially like the "it's all original..... (except it's not)" line.....
And yeah, a 327 bored to 350 doesn't make a lot of sense. From what I've been told about those blocks, a .090" overbore is pushing it. It might be a 327 block with a 350 rotating assembly, but I highly doubt it's a 327 bored to make a 350.
How do you tighten a suspension that's missing the screws?!
Seems to me that it's written by someone who's missing a few more screws than the car....

I pegged my 7k rpm rev limiter with it in my car before I turned it down to 6k. It's just a split single plane and from what I remember most every other single plane outperforms it. I think they did it to try to give more high end power but still retain the lower end torque, then found out it didn't really work. Offy was pretty good at experimenting, probably not so good at releasing products that worked as advertised....
I still have the manifold if anyone's interested. I noticed a lot of improvement when I swapped to the ProComp knock off of the Performer RPM air gap and most likely will never use it for anything again.
