Anybody know what engine combo Danny is running at Indy in D/S?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure he's running the 350 horse 327.

Larry Fulton · 04-28-2013, 03:07 PM

Yes... L79 - 350HP / 327".... factored down from the factory rating

Mike Keener · 04-28-2013, 03:53 PM

What a no brainer decision this is......327/275/274 vs 327/350/287!

Did I read the tech sheet correctly because the way I read it for 13 HP here is what you get:

Heads, Valves, CAM, Compression ,an Aluminum High Rise Manifold, and a bit more carb.

Naah..I must be dreaming or is this combination really a gift?

Sure makes me wish I had a 66 deuce 4 speed !

Wouldnt it be a little less carb? The holley is rated at 585.the q jet around 700cfm.

Hey Lynn..How are ya man?!

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.

The q-jet is an optional carb in the 66 275 horse combo.

Danny Byrd is FAST no matter what carb he has!

I had A (used) '67 327 / 325(?) in a Malibu. That was a real thorn to 400 hp GTO's and 396-350hp.
And they were still offered in a 67 Nova all models to a SS.

1968 New Body Chevelle it was still rated at 325. Exhaust was the excuse.
