vettester can you elaborate? everything i've ever read has said the only differences between the 1968 large (rod) journal 327 and the 350 blocks that followed were 1: main cap size/shape (there were no 4-bolt 327s), 2: cast in-boss for a breather in the top rear of the block by the dist, and 3: crank throw. Cylinder wall thickness, main journal size, etc were the same because the castings were the same. If I am missing something please let me know. I'm going to be bummed if I can't do this...
Not at all, you could certainly do it..the Clearancing tools are the same, the tolerences just get closer to their limits. The trade off is cost..You could have your engine from a good builder ,for alot less.
I change the compromised word to a tad more limited as compared to a fresh 383 roller block.
I added that serious part because your build is a stroker and why else would you Want the new, very considerable , power increases without thromping on it ?
