The current small-block is the same ’65 327 that Di Pietro ran in the late ’60s, though the ported heads, high-compression pistons, and radical solid-lifter cam have been replaced with tamer componentry. Flat-top pistons with stock 2.02 heads yield 10.0:1 compression, and the vintage Edelbrock X-Ram mounts a pair of Carter AFBs offering, as Robert puts it, “a mere” 1,000 cfm. An MSD electronic distributor replaces the vintage Mallory dual-point unit (though it’s on standby for full nostalgia effect) and the lakester-style headers (fabricated by Robert) run under the car, through Walker glasspacks, and out the back. Neat carb scoops are California Custom Accessories with wire-mesh filters. View Related Article
