Default 327 Engines

What is the difference between a 327/350 and a 327/365 HP engine? I believe the 327/375 is fuel injected for tha extra 10 HP over a 327/365 engine. Do any of these engines have solid lifters? What about the 250 HP and 300 HP engines? What makes them different? Are they all four bolt mains?

Thanks,
Scott

This post belongs in the regular C1/C2 forum, but I'll cover it here. The key mechanical difference between the 327/350 and 327/365 is the camshaft (hydraulic on the 350hp, solid lifters on the 365hp and 375hp fuelie). All 327's have 2-bolt mains. The 250 and 300hp 327's have lower compression, smaller valves and ports in the heads, ordinary iron intakes with small ports and small carbs, and mild hydraulic cams.
