I know right?! There's not much truck left, its awesome this guy is so optimistic he thinks someone living in a state with the highest unemployment in the nation is going to be stupid enough to drop 7 grand on a truck that looks like swiss cheese and requires a flatbed to move.

I emailed this guy, and said I am interested in the 327, I think he has a typo on the price. He said, NO, it ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. LMAO, not interested in it anymore. Damn, I scrapped 2 of those a few years back cuz everyone wanted 350's and noone even knew what a small journal 327 was.

Hell yeah he does. Its a $100 core motor all day long. And you see he wants $400 for a small block 400 that needs rebuilt. Noone pays that kind of money now days for old school technology when current better technology is cheaper. I'd love to see an older 60's Malibu or Nova with a 5.3/4L60-E in it.

Those 327's had a special crankshaft right? Something hardened steel...

I would not call it special, but the 65-67 as well as all 283 engines, were small journal, and all had forged cranks. Sure not worth $1000. Many are not aware of differance in a small journal and large journal, although you only had to be careful of the 327 since in 68, when the 350 was born, the 327 also came with a larger journal crank for 68 and 69. If fact some also not aware that LARGE Journal 327 and 350 are the same identical block and even share the same cast #'s in 68-69.

So the small journal gave the motor more stroke? Is that what made them desirable?

No, there wasn't any more stroke. But what made them more desirable was the forged crank #1, and #2, the smaller journal had less friction drag, and a smaller circle, so it could turn the RPM quicker than a larger journal. Basically, it came down to physics, but its been proven, the smaller journal wll turn more rpms quicker than the larger journal. I think it was the forged crank that was the biggest thing that made them desireable, and you didn't have to check to see what it was or if it had it, since all small journal motors were forged cranks, I think I already pointed out, even the 283's are all forged cranks. I do not know for sure, I can only assume the 265 did also, which was the first SBC made to the best of my knowledge.

The forged crank must be what I was thinking of, there's a good 327 sitting in our parts truck. I just remember he mentioned the crank.
