Turn-key, carb’d Chevy 327 (5.4L) with pro machine work, balanced rotating assembly, and premium new parts for classic small-block response.
Built for customers who want classic small-block Chevy character, smooth street manners, and a vintage performance feel.
It comes as a professionally built crate engine that’s dressed with key components like the intake, carb, and HEI ignition—built to make your swap straightforward.
It includes the intake, Edelbrock 600 CFM carb, HEI distributor/coil, wires/plugs, fuel pump, water pump, harmonic balancer, flexplate, and multiple chrome dress components (plus balance sheet and warranty paperwork).
It’s designed to be “drop-in friendly,” but you still must install it properly, add fluids, verify timing/carb settings, and confirm all vehicle-specific fitment items before driving.
No—this build uses a dual-plane non-EGR intake manifold.
Yes—the rotating assembly is Sunnen computer balanced, and the balance sheet is included.
The block/heads/crank are cleaned and Magnafluxed, the block is bored/honed with torque plates, the crank is reground and polished, rods are resized with new bolts, and the heads get new guides/seals plus a performance 3-angle valve job.
It includes an HEI distributor with cap/rotor and a 50,000V coil, along with Accel wires and Autolite plugs.
Yes—both the polished dual-plane intake (non-EGR) and the Edelbrock 600 CFM carburetor are included.
A 1-year, unlimited mileage written warranty is included with the engine.
Prime the oiling system, verify fuel delivery, set base timing, check for leaks, use proper break-in oil/procedure, and complete a careful initial heat-cycle and inspection before normal driving.
