What was the 63 327/340 horse Biscayne ? Something you swapped into it ?

Belair62, you are right, the drivetrain came from a vette about the same vintage, that was totaled, my high school friend, named brian mcabe did the switch, and later sold the car , to me, not sure the year of the vette, but I think the top hp. on a 327 vette that year was 340. Bob krueger

chris,


The 858 Heads are 66 and the 291 heads are late 69-70. Although both are closed chamber rectangular port heads, you will need 840 castings to be correct for a 68.
