LT1 Block Question
I have just removed all the componets from my LT1 engine and there is 327 cast into the block everywhere. What is this number and where do I findthe actual block number? Does 327 mean?
Thanks in advance

Yep, just another GM casting number. It scared me once when I bought an LT1 from a junk yard. I thought I got one of the baby LT1's they had put in a few Impalas. They were 265's though I believe.

Re: LT1 Block Question (mothersworry)
I was just under mine tonight and noticed the same thing. Thought it was funny, especially when I remembered that the old Ford big blocks, 352, 390 and 428, etc. all had 352 stamped into them. Hey a 327 LT1 would be pretty cool, huh? Actually if memory serves, don't a 327 and 350 share a bore size?
