My father and I are in the process of taking apart and rebuilding my mothers 1978 vette. It has a 327 in it and I am having a hard time finding a rebuild kit for a chevy 327 in that year. Most of the sites I go to show the chevy 327 only in older vehicles, like prior to 1970. Any ideas?

    Well was the 327 swapped into the car?

    The last 327 was made in 1969. Nothing after ’69 came stock with a 327.

    The 78 vette stock had a 350 in it.

    The 327 was made from 1962-69.. The 62-67 was small journal engines (2.30″ mains and 2.0″ rod journals)

    The 68-69 327 was med. journal (some call it large journal) Had 3.45″ mains and 2.10″ rod journals.

    Check your engine suffix code (front, pass side of engine) on machined pad in front of head.

    And the casting # on rear drivers side of block on flange where trans bolts too

    Get the #’s off those spots and email me and I can tell you what year, and size engine you really have

    For rebuild kits, I shop at 1 of the 3 places
