327 with TBI set up?

My friend is giving me his old 327 block is it possible that it can still bolt up to the 700r4 and for me to run a TBI set up computer harness.. ect??? I know the 327 block wont have all the emissions stuff to hook it up to, but can I still put in the TBI??

Does it need machine work or is it ready to put stuff into it? Think that through before you start planning anything else.

What year 327 is it? Is it a large journal motor? If its a small journal motor, sell it and get a 350 block. It makes no sense to build a small journal block that needs machine work.

It's without the crank ?

So it's well "kinda" a 350 block ? But older style though, can't use a roller cam just like that ?

Heck send it this way *lol* I'd go for it just to use the 327 emblems o nthe car

If it is a 67 327, its pretty much worthless to you. Its a SJ engine. Basically every crank you can buy is a large journal crank. Let someone else who needs it for a resto get it, get yourself a 350.
