The engine mounts are the same and any smallblock chevy tranny will fit. That is just the basics.

The external dimensions of a 327 are completely different and will never fit in place of a conventional SBC!

Whoa, what planet did you just arrive from?

The 327 block is externally identical to all SBC's from 1958 to the non-LS1 present. In fact, 327's and 350's were often made from the same casting #.

Only changes are things that have occurred across the line - one-piece rear main seal, roller cam, etc.

I am sure he is thinking of the modern 327 Truck motor, or maybe he is from another planet.
