You sure you got a 327??

Cause the casting number 3849852 shows it to be 283

LOL

I dont think anyone on here would, maybe bust your chops but thats abou it. Im not biased, i like mopars but i was a big ford fan before that. Also have a good friend who regularly goes cruizing with me with a Z-28 iroc, another friend has a Firebird...
