I bought a 327 with camel bump heads for 165.00 dollars,it had been bored .30 over ,i put in a camm ,timing chain,new oil pump,i an curently running it in a 68 chev shortbed😮🎉
Quadrajets were good but they had so many different types. They were also very flimsy and rebuilding them was Russian Roulette. The throttle shafts would wear the shaft and bodies. And you can’t unscrew the throttle plates. I loved the economy and performance after dialing it in. I settled on the Edelbrock AVS/AFB for daily driving and the Holley for racing. The 750-850 DP s are great with turbo blow through and Centrifugal blowers.
I ran the avs on my f100 worked amazing nothing but good things to say about them. I got this holley street warrior for a pretty good deal always had good things from them. Quadrajets are hit or miss thats for sure.
@@alexpowell96I prefer Holley all around. If you work the idle air bleed and emulsion circuit you can dial them in for part throttle cruise way easier than the AFB. I street drive a 1250 dominator and get better mileage than the guys I run with who have way less cubes/power. Also as the weather/air density changes you simply pull the air filter and thread in a different air bleed, no carb disassembly required. The AFB’s are a bugger to make a jet change on after many hours of chassis dyno time (worked at a shop/was the carb guy) they never dial in right on anything much hotter than a stock build.
I ended up figuring it out got it fixed gonna clean it up and sell it now that it's good to go. I took my goodies out and put them in my 350 and put stock parts back in the 307
@@alexpowell96 , The 307 is a 327 crank in a 283 block , those big 350 heads has a big valve and they are hitting the block as they open , the 283 block has the smaller bore than the 350 heads that are on there ..
That is a 283 , 307 , or 327 , someone has big valves and could be hitting the block ? Take one head off , I got a set of Power pack heads that will fit
It was a 307 bore.20 over I ended up fixing it and got it back together with stock parts only thing not stock is a 350 cam that's it. Gonna clean it up and list it since it's fixed ready to go. Already got the 350 in with my goodies had it fire off already gonna have a video up soon on it
It was spinning over fast as heck lol. Ended up pulling it out though didn't see anything really wrong with the timing or the heads. I ended up snagging a 350 though already got my goodies going in it at the moment
I had got some sbc engines in a deal. 2 were fully rebuilt. Lol. Spray paint and chrome. Lol. But were 4 bolts. They had the rocker adjustment all messed up.
Think that's all they did on this was clean it up and do a horrible spray paint job with some cheap chrome. I'll be tearing into this one fixing it and selling it since I have a known good 350 going in it now. @@samrotheray5805
@alexpowell96 . I'd hang on to it if possible. Ya never know what you may come across. Lol. Glad to see ya doing the work. I've done alot of engines. Keep up the great work. It's all a learning experience.

That's a nice score! The deals are out there that's for sure just hard to find sometimes

Man just found your channel make sure valve timing is correct and your dist. isn't 180 out

180degrees out of time
I Doubt you are spinning it fast enuff to git a good compression reading nor to pump up lifters.. id bet a dollar it is out of time man.
It was spinning over fast as heck lol. Ended up pulling it out though didn't see anything really wrong with the timing or the heads. I ended up snagging a 350 though already got my goodies going in it at the moment
Re check the valve adjustment. If it's still in.

Good luck on you truck. Looks like a good time. Lol

30,000 mile $ 400? It's more like old-school overhaul gaskets and paint. Beware of deals ,too good to be true.
