Something Old, Something New: 327 vs. LM7

Ask any group of Chevy enthusiasts about the best small block ever made and chances are someone will say the 327. Sure, some may argue that the 283-horsepower, injected 283 was the first Chevy to reach 1 hp per cubic inch, while others will counter with the Trans Am-winning DZ302 and still others might chime in with LT1 350 as the last great high-compression small block. What we quickly learn from this discussion is that there were a number of great small blocks produced during the muscle car era, but only one can lay claim to having the highest factory power rating. The fuel-injected L84 327 was factory rated at 375 horsepower, while the carbureted L76 version was rated 10-hp down at 365 hp. Whether these motors ever produced that kind of power in stock trim is irrelevant, as no 283, 302 or even 350 was ever rated higher. Thus, the 327 can lay claim to being the most powerful of all the original muscle-car small blocks. A better question might be how does the king of all muscle-car small blocks compare to modern machinery?

ZEX Appeal - Set Up A Strong Perimeter

What’s not to love about nitrous oxide? If you are a car guy (or gal), you owe it to yourself to install nitrous on at least one car, any car, before you trade in that hot rod for the inevitable mini van. Why is nitrous cool, you ask? Where else can you get instant power at the push of a button? The great thing about nitrous is that not only can you get that big hit but the hit can be applied to just about ANY combination, from stock to Super Stock. Nitrous doesn’t care what name is plastered on the outside of your car, it just needs injection into an internal combustion engine and the compound will do the rest. It is for this reason that nitrous oxide is so popular among racers. As a street racer, how do you not just love the fact that you have an extra 100-500 hp (or more) at the push of a button? Talk about instant gratification! Before we get to the specific benefits of the ZEX Perimeter Plate and results of our dyno test, we should take a quick look at the amazing compound known as nitrous oxide.

A Cool G Part Deux - Our 383 LS Gets Boost And Makes Over 1000 Horsepower For The Street

Back in part 1 we introduced Bangshifters to our Cool G 383 build up. What started out as a simple, iron-block 5.3L was quickly transformed into a 383 stroker by combining a forged steel crank (4.0-inch stroke) and 6.125-inch rods from Speedmaster with a set of JE forged, flat-top pistons. To that short block we added a Crane hydraulic roller cam that offered .624 lift, a 232/240-degree duration split and 113-degree lsa. We then topped off the stout short block with a set of CNC-ported TFS Gen X 225 heads and a Holley Mid Ram induction system. The unique intake system could be run a number of different ways but we chose the single throttle-body/EFI route. Back in part 1 we assembled the motor using ARP head studs and Fel Pro MLS head gaskets then ran the normally aspirated combo using a Holley Dominator EFI system. Taking the ever-foolish, more-is-better approach, we decided on a lofty goal of no less than 1,000 hp (a Cool G). In normally aspirated trim, the 383 produced 517 hp and 483 lb-ft of torque on the SuperFlow 902 at Westech Performance Group, getting us more than half way there.

Swapping Parts On A 383 Stroker To Shift The Torque Curve

From a simple math standpoint, making more horsepower requires nothing more than shifting torque production higher in the rev range. It is also possible to simply produce more torque in the same rpm, but with any given displacement, additional torque becomes more and more difficult.

Dyno Testing CXRacing's Twin-Turbo System - PSIchotic Stroker

What constitutes a cool engine build? High-boost, twin turbos, sick power—check, check, check. You can add big-inch, stroker short-blocks, wild cams, high-rise intakes and free-flowing cylinder heads, too. Lesser magazines might be satisfied with any one of these, but that's not how we do it at MM&FF.
