Ls 327
Has anyone ever tried to fit or thought about fitting a 4.8 crank into a 6.0 block to build a 327?
I just love the sound of 327. The bore stroke ratio is really very good for power and effiency. Plus you could get a little more RPM out of a stock crank due to piston speed.
I know bigger engines produce more torque at any given rpm which is easier on the motor, but I am just wondering if this could be done with out special pistions. Maybe I could use stock 6.0 pistons and shorter rods to compensate for pin height.

Random hero. I have never heard one or read about anybody doing this idea, but a 4.8 crank is barely a touch longer then the 3.25" a traditional 327 has. Combine that with a 6.0 block, and if pistons are cheaply enough available you in therory have a 329. Although I prefer 327.

Mangled GMC.
I have heard 6.0's in muscle cars with out all the BS they have, and a carb. I after listening to it for quite awhile could not tell it was not a healthy 350. You'll have by far a greater exhaust tone from mufllers then a 4-7 and 2-3 firing order swap.
Loud exhaust makes everything sound bad. Including a guy at works 4.3.

So, you want to spend a bunch of money trying to get a 327? You theory two posts up says you will get a 329, which is two CI's larger than 327, when you could just use a 5.3, which is two less? WTF
