I have a new project in the garage and looking for motor ideas. The car is a 1927 roadster started by a guy who then sold it to another guy who sold it to another guy and thats where I found it. It really hasnt had anything done to it in a few years. It has never seen the road. I cant decide which motor to go with. The car will just be a fun friday night cruiser so not looking to make huge power. The car hardly weighs anything so it wont take much. I am either thinking 327 or 350 sbc motor(possibly with 305 heads) and either a th350 or 400 tranny. The only problem thus far is finding a fair priced one that hasnt been sitting for a long time. I however can find a 305 motor and tranny, fair priced but not sure if the motor will feel/look underpowered. If I cant find anything soon, I will head to springfields swap meet next month and try my luck there. I can find van/truck motors all day but unfamiliar with the compression these have and if it will be an issue. I could go with the cheap 305 now to get it on the road, then build a bigger motor over the winter. Any suggestions? I already know theres alot to change out to get it where I want it but its a neat project. Motor wasnt included.
