Ayuh,....

Changing the sparkplugs would be a B***h, I Bet....
I know you'd never get a standard 5/8" socket on'em...

I'm also thinking it might not make it's original 350hp either....

Sweet find though Don.......;)

My first fiberglass runabout was a 23' '69 Thunderbird Formula. It had a 327...4 bolt main, double hump heads...helluva motor.
Wish I still had that boat today, it was a keeper.

327 was one of the better SBCs made.

Don, I can start you off with the thermostat housing...gotta spare in the shed.

I did, but it was a quick scan. I missed that part about being a scale model...didn't scroll down to see all the pics.
Awesome. I can't imagine the patience and time that went into this.

Well, I guess my housing could be used for a stand!:)

Way cool.
It needs something to deepen the tone of the exhaust, a low rumble would be fitting.

Here is another V8, not scale, and a bit bigger. The 327 is a 1.10 cubic inch engine, here is a bigger (5.6 cu. in.) just click on the "V8 Video" link on the left. It has more "Rumble"
