Didnt the 68 327/325 combo have a cast iron intake & Q-jet ? A guy used to run one at Miami

No question Danny is Fast.. he was always fast in Top Stock too.

He is also very clever in picking this combination over the 275

<Mine had a 585 Holley and Winters stamped * alum manifold.>

Same hyd. #151 hydraulic cam. The 327-350(325) hp engine could give many big blocks a run for their money.

My friend had a *66 4sp Malibu bench with a 327/275 and I put the GM-151-350 hp cam ,poly locks..jetted and a set of OK-Kustom headers.. dam thing was a terror @ high 12s on old MH 'ers and had GTOs running scared.

For most ,that combo had some cred back in 1970.

Mike....I think the Holley carb has always been the the 'soft' spot for the Deuce 327ci 350hp combo, at least before it was refactored. I've been eyeing this combo for quite some time, so am pretty sure about the carb issue.

Danny might be reshaping the argument however, as he's got that car running. Deuce's are just plain cool race cars, no matter what.

The way I read the 66 blueprint specs it looks like both combos us a small Holley but the carb notes appear to me that the 350 hp is a bit bigger than the 275 hp.

In 67 the 275 used a QJet which is obviously superior, but the 350 disappeared at the end of 66 unless it hung around in a Corvette but I'm too lazy to look. I know one thing- there was never a 327/350 offered in a Camaro. Not even in a 69 car which which offered the most engine options I have ever seen.

Mike , back in about 72-73 , the 540 Holley was the only carb available on the 66 Chevy II.
Joe Santangelo's original 66 ht ran 11.11 on our 11.33 record with that carb. at the end of '73. That car was nowhere near what we have in STOCK today. (2.52 Muncie, 28x9 slicks, 5.13's with slapper bars, NO roll bar)
I started to build a 66 post car for SS/E ..where the record was 11.10 at that time, and you got to use a 585 Holley..That project got sidelined when the index system was rumored.
You could use the Carter AVS in 66, but not the Qjet (I'm pretty sure Mike Moller used the AVS on his SS/K wagon)
Larry Tores came out with the 67 post car with a Q jet, and after a while ,NHRA relented on the Qjet 66 car.

The SS/GT car that Byron Setters has ,is the Corvette 300 hp version (585 carb), with some HP taken off, compared to the Qjet. I guess he and Gary Hettler tried to get some more off for the 540 Holley Chevy II engine, which should be somewhere in between the 65 4GC version, and what he has now, but NHRA said NO..Enough of this.
There ya go..best I can remember all this.

Yes. A friend of mine had one (original equipment) in a 68 Chevy II and I had one that came out of a Chevelle. Same pistons, heads, (2.02 intakes) and camshaft as the 350 H.P. motor but with a cast intake and Q-Jet.

Both the 327/275 and 327/350 have hydraulic cams.
