I also had a 68 Caprice Estate Wagon. 327 inch. 275 horsepower, 12-bolt.
Hideaway headlights full power everything including top fender mounted turn signal, high beam, headlight indicators.
A BEAST.....

I had a 1968 Impala with the 327, 4 BBL, 400 Turbo trans, disc brakes, 15” wheels four-door. Was a great sleeper.

Getting ready to rebuild the '65 327 with double hump heads for my '57 Chevy. Nice engines!

Trivia answer: rear main seal, forget that puppy and it won't take but once before you never forget again

[@oacumulador]

Nice Job as always

[@tlcbear2]

I appreciate that

[@dpierson489]

You got semi high end parts but you didn't spend the extra money to bore the block???

[@tlcbear2]

The pistons are .030 over so ya I'm sure the lock was bored.

[@jameshester1450]

That would make them 68cc castings

[@kennethsimpson4897]

The back 2 piece main crank. Seals

[@IRONMAN-kb4su]

SWEET

[@tlcbear2]

[@jameshester1450]

Kipchoge typically found in station wagons in that vintage

[@prevost8686]

Where did the alternator hook to?

[@DavidPlunk-t9t]

Is that the 250 horse power heads

[@johnjackson8542]

Did that motor have the large journal steel crank in it (4672/1130 forgings)? I know the 68' 327 trucks came with large steel, not sure about the impala's.

[@tlcbear2]

No this one is a cast crank

[@oldmanintheshopbuiltnotbou8726]

why do you wait and put freeze plugs and galley plugs in great video bear

[@tlcbear2]

I wanted all the paint work to be done cause using brass plugs

[@skyblazer9137]

Why are the exhaust ports painted??

[@brandonbell3089]

I got a 400 block those front motor mounts holes aren’t machined on the driver side

[@prsjoe]

Hey Bear , nice build . What product did you use on the back side of the rear main seal halves to cure overnight to prevent them from rotating ? Cheers .

[@tlcbear2]

right stuff black

[@prsjoe]

@@tlcbear2 OK thanks !

[@thomaslambie5470]

hello love your channel what type and brand is that torque wrench please

[@tlcbear2]

[@stingray6164]

DID 1966 CORVETTE 327 HAVE LARGE JOURNALS

[@tlcbear2]

66 should been a small Jr steel crank

[@jameshester1450]

No
