can I tow with this 327
I built a 327 with flat tops and 416 305 heads. I put 1.94 intake valves in and ported the heads out. The problem comes with the cam I picked out and the compression of the engine.
I did all the compression calculators and 9.6 to 1 is what I came up with. I plan on running 91-93 octane in the truck. here is the cam I put in the engine https://www.summitracing.com/parts/s...make/chevrolet will I be able to tow with my truck? |

Re: can I tow with this 327
I don't see why not. It has a nice power range. I suppose the gearing will be more of a concern than the cam. What is your drive line? What do you plan on towing?

Re: can I tow with this 327
You should be able to tow a small trailer, but with the way it is built I wouldn't exactly call that a 'towing engine'. Of course this is also dependent on the transmission and rear gear used.
