Need help with old Chevy versus Mopar debate
This is hard to answer cuz the 327 came in several h/p ratings, from 275hp, 325 hp, 350 hp AND the L79 327/375 h/p, which was a killer engine, Mopar just had the "275"hp version 340.
My girlfriend had a 327/275 h/p Chevie 2/Nova, 4spd pegleg.
I had 340 Dart.
Rolling start she would hold her own pretty good, but was totally stock, mine was just starting to get tweaked.
Now after a lotta tweaking, I went looking for the local 375h/p Nova.
1st race, I beat, 2nd race he won (I poked a pushrod thru a rocker) 3rd race, the RCMP showed up, and we split,, we never raced against each other again, but we both knew we were very/very close. I was running 13.6 ish at that time..
