Default Re: Rarest 69 Camaro Ever? all-aluminum hemi engine Z

the article says it is an aluminum 327 block from the Grand Sport program
that would mean it was from around 1963

----I would think if the block was from the Grand Sport program it would have been a 377cu.in. When we restored GS#1 the 1st time,years ago we were lucky to score a nearly complete original 377 GS motor from the tech center, crossram Webers and all. I still don't know how our friend inside GM did that!......Bill S

I believe that is the same engine

the 327 block is a 4 inch bore and they used a stroker crank to get the 377 cu in

the 327 350 and 302 used 4 inch bore

My friend Bill Scott was the chief mechanic on the Penske GS cars and stated his were 364 CI engines. Perhaps Penske used de-stroked engines. Unfortunately Scotty passed away many years ago.
