Sounds good to me!

1950 Willys Wagon dad & I have been working on for ages.
Originally had a 4cylinder, but was pulled 15 years ago to be replaced with a 355 crate motor built to L82 specs, dad blew that motor about 10 years ago, replaed that with a 327 from an early Camaro. Ran for a bit, rebuilt the motor about 4 years ago, motor siezed, sat for 3 years. Sent in the old L82 355ci SBC to the shop, rebuilt with forged pistons, crank, a massive cam, a Holley intake with a 750cfm Holley carb, all through a TH700-R4 tranny, dropped into a 2700lb car with a Dana 44 rear. It's still a work in progress, but we're getting there.

Engine was dyno'd about 2 weeks ago after the most recent rebuild at ~455hp/~465tq at the crank.



Old 327

355 before rebuild.
