UH OH, BOIRD brain at it's best.That must of been the experimental 396,if you could bolt it's intake onto a small block 327,lol. The 396 is a big block,and it's intake is alot wider/bigger then the 327 small block intakes were.
A 427 and 396 are interchangable though
Lemme think and make sure I not getting my Chevy mixed up with my friend's 383, with the cookie sheet. One of dem cars we had 2 manifolds that we bolted on at the track,. IT may have been the 383, argh. Trying to remember if it was the 396 or 350 small we put on on the 327. U know, JUST not sure, had to be the 350 manifold . That was 72/73 and we were all kinda fried, lmao. Did we pull the Rochester and put on 350 manifold, we may have put on 350 with adapto-plate on the 327. Those were not memorable years, arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. (Remember those adapto plates, lmao).
lemme see friend's 383 in a 65 Chrysler 300: had a Carter 2 barrel on it. With the cookie sheet, we went to track and dropped on a big 4 barrel pumper on it for racing, had whole another manifold in trunk.
Friend also ran a stock 440 with Carter 4 barrel, stock 3/4 cam (no nitrous) (Dodge Coronet RT 440). We used to race the State PD from toll booth to toll booth, lmao. They had them big Fury III's and thought they were bad. They NEVA beat that Coronet. More than once, they made us POP the hood to make sure it was street legal, which it was. Biggest bummer: we had to pay the toll each time, not PD, lmao.
ADDED: Had a 427 Impala in garage, just never got that setup. WAY too much $$$$$$ for a kid working in a factory making $2.01 an hour. Sold it to somebody from local track, that was a mistake.
CAVEAT: Boy, wish I would have kept that ole Impala or even my 68 Cutlass with the 350 Jetfire. The things U do as a kid that U regret over 50 years later.
