Gen 1 327

I was wondering how much horsepower this combination would be? Just an estimate would be fine. This is what I know of the motor. 327 bored 60 over flat top pistons. Iron eagle crank, complete roller motor. 300 adv during lift solid lift roller cam phase 6 luminum angle plug bowtie heads 14011048. Aluminum holley high rise strip dominator intake. 650 Holley double Pumper. Any help would be appreciated.

You need more compression than that to work with that cam, heads and intake combo. With flattop pistons you'll be in the 9s somewhere. A cam that big is likely to want mid 10s at least (domed pistons).

Re: Gen 1 327

Doesn't sound like a very good street engine. And since its only a 327 I'm not really sure how well it would work for racing either.

Re: Gen 1 327

Agreed; not a good combo. Too little compression for racing, too much cam for the street. Personally I wouldn't pay the money for it that is probably being asked, unless I already had a buyer lined up for the undersized non-competitive short block. That's the worst part. The cam might be OK, and the heads while long obsolete are still at least decent; but the lack of CID or compression would HAVE TO go.
