Assume you mean a V8 engine???

Where are you and are you happy to buy abroad?

How much money do you want to spend?

What is it going in?

Does it have to be brand new, or rebuilt or even a good used one?

Do you want short, long or turnkey?

EFI or carb?

And if new I'd say look at a LS1 or LS2 not an old SBC unit.

No wonder your Nova's made no progress when your constantly building engines for other people !

P.S. hows the new tow vehicle ?

Bore size is the same, stroke on a 327 is 3.25" and a 350 is 3.48".
Hope that helps!

Read carefully . . .

Anyways, so it's the same engine apart from the extra CID.

How come it sounds so extremely different FI in a C2?

Road or race? 18 or 23deg heads? Roller or flat tappet? Iron or alloy? What's your budget?
