Valve seals for camel hump heads?

Oh yeah, I’m aware of the different configurations. It’s entirely unlikely that someone would spend all the dough to convert it from a 350 to a 327 from a generic mid 70s 350 truck block. My money is on this guy was sold a “327/350hp” and someone put a set of camel hump heads on a 350 to give it that appearance. No matter, I wouldn’t be able to measure the stroke accurately without pulling the heads anyway.

What year is the block? '68-'69 large journal 327's shared the block with a 350. They weren't 350 horse camel hump 327's at that point though.

Good question- block says mid 70s. But it is a four bolt main, saw it myself when I changed the pan gasket. I’m not sure if they ever made a 4-bolt 327.

@bucket in re-reading your post, that makes sense and I’d bet there were some 4-bolt 327s. And since they used that same block (likely) for the DZ302, it’s likely that they were 4-bolt too for that performance application.

ChuckN, the enforcer heads use the same components as the higher priced heads, top notch. I used David Vizards book porting small block chevy heads on a set of 194's, that was 30 years ago. Still got the engine, still runs awesome, and I am the type of guy that can't keep my foot out of it, the engine sees 6500 every time i drive it. It was a dirty but fun exercise, and learned a bunch, just a thought. I am using the BBC Enforcer heads on my new build go here:https://www.skipwhiteperformance.com/

Thanks Craig! Taking the Family to Disneyland this weekend and working until then- I’ll get back after this topic soon. I’m definitely going to check out that website!
