LOL its funny how many will misspell Camaro. I just seen the response and had to laugh. When I had My 70 Z28 I was on a forum where it was spelled 3 or 4 different ways by guys who had them. Yes put in a Camaro, and have fun.

Got My New Engine To Work On
My dad called his friend and his friend has a Chevy 327. He said it runs but it smokes when it runs. We bought it for $500. My dads friend at work loves cars and said he would love to help me rebuild the 327 and my Corvettes 350.
I'll post pictures within the next week when i go and get it.
What kinda car do you think i should put the 327 in? A Impala or a Camaro?
(My dads paying for the engine and the rebuild so he said its either going in a Impala or a Camero. Most likey it will be in a Camaro)

You'll have fun with it. I vote for an early Chevy II, a Vega....or a Bel Air/Impala. Everyone has a Camaro!

Well i guess it does make sense that its $500. The chevy 350 was in production for a long time and they built over 90,000,000 of them. The 327 was in production for 8 years.
Also were all 327's turbo fires or was it a different set up?

I have another question about the engine. Seeing that its either going in a Impala or a Bel Air now, i have always like impala's or bel airs that have blowers. My question is, is a blower something that bolts onto a supercharger? How much horsepower will it increase it too (on average). Im mainly after the look of the blower but i also want performance.
Here are some that i have been looking at: http://www.alsblowers.com/streetcatcher.html
If i do end up getting one on these blowers, what will i have to change in the engine to make it able to handle the blower? Like certain pistons?

More cubic inches,more power/torque,same size externally, for the same money if you use identical spec parts.
Unless you want to have a OE size engine and want to try to keep the car original. Pretty much small block parts cost the same for the different size displacements 283,302,327,350,400.
