Glad you found the problem without posting a long-winded condemnation of Keisler, like some folks would have done.

I had been considering an RS400 for my mild 327, but of the three e-mails I've...

I need to find out for sure, because I am leaning towards recommending that engine with the new Weiand 8121 (low rise) manifold. The ZZ4 uses traditional heads, but costs lots more, and I'm...

227/241 is really big unless you have low gears. You will like the 224/230 cam much better. Also, I wouldn't use the stock ZZ4 springs with anything other than the stock cam. The proper spring...

61 engine swap issues?

I have a friend with a 61 that has a tired late-70s 350. He wants to replace it with a GM crate motor, like a 330hp/350 or a ZZ4. Are there any 61-specific issues we should be aware of, like a...

Most of that 780 cfm was probably required with the "off-road" cam and some head work, and the SCCA said the engines had to use "stock" carbs and other parts. As I recall, the next size smaller...

I decided 16-lbs would be a little too light for my 327, so ended up calling Raymond and buying the 22-lb version for around $125. Very nice machining and finish. Also bought a Zoom street/strip...

Great marketing, no practical benefits, similar to Split Fire plugs.

My last two Interstate batteries cost half as much and lasted 5-6 years in the Texas heat.

A bigger cam won't do much good with those heads. In fact, good heads with a small cam is much better than poor heads with a big cam.

What kind of flywheels and clutches are you guys using on your 325hp, 350hp, and solid lifter 327s? Do I need to spend $250+ on a clutch kit and another $250+ on an SFI-approved flywheel? And...

In my experience, the "010" block is the most common pre-87 block. They were used in the last 302 and 327 motors, as well as hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of 350s. I have a 69 4-bolt...

I assume you're referring to GM EOS (Engine Oil Supplement)?

By "cam lube" above, I meant the thick, nasty paste for the cam lobes, which of course, I've always used.

BTW, this is a new engine.
