Our 327 was finished off with a set of early Corvette aluminum valve covers, still available from GM Performance Parts. Non-nostalgia items necessary for the dyno test included a set of Sprint Car–style headers, an electric water pump, and a large late-model-style balancer. In this trim, the 327 generated 300 hp at 5,400 rpm. At 3,500 rpm, where the pull began, torque was 356 lb-ft but had already passed its peak.
