Ron, Scot and I have three (3) tilt columns that all need a "hug"
There have been some conversations on a "guy" that is well versed on these.
Could anyone supply contact info?

Thanks Jim,

Had it a long time, I would sell.
Not sure of fair market value.

Make me an offer.

I see them anywhere from 300-800 on ebay. Have all the plugs been removed and the threads good? I would imagine no cracks or anything broken. Carb studs removed? I would have to take a look sometime. Getting closer to deciding on the rebuild. But won't decided on rebuilding the current 350 or going the 383 stroker option or going back to a 327 until after pulling the engine.

Take a look when we see each other next.
I think the lower, $ 300.00 number is in the range of what I might have in it.
I am sure we can figure something out.
Would rather see it go to good use, than sit on shelf.

I also have a 1968 327 complete engine in stock.
I think it was a 275hp, wouldn't run right after the owners sons replaced the cam.

The cars name was "Harriet" now cut up, body gone, frame drivetrain sitting under another shell.

The 68 engine sounds interesting. Do you know if the heads are the first design for the 291 or the second design? Probably the 1.94/1.5 valves as opposed to the 2.02/1.6. If stock it probably has the large journal cast crank as opposed to a forged. And a Carter/Rochester intake.I think my block may be a 4 bolt, won't know for sure until the engine is out and I wanted to use a Holley carb. Thus the Winter intake. I will have to stop and look at that Intake.

I do believe all the 327's were machined for large journal cranks after 1967, same as the 350.

If I remember right, your 350 is a truck block ? and a mid-late 70's ? That has a high percentage of being a 4 bolt main, so take that as you will.
