Can you even get a 3.27 ? I've heard they are out of them and none are available. Oh well, Where I live in PA, there are a lot of hills. I was afraid I wouldn't get up the hills too well so I compromised and bought a 3.54. So far it's been great! I love that thing! It climbs hills better than before! It's a bored out block, .040 off the head , B carb. with a bored out A . manifold, turned top 55/6 LB flywheel. Nothing outrageous! Maybe 50 HP. But much better to keep up up with modern traffic with. But there are some who don't like it too. But, For me? Great!

Mike's has it listed as a 3.27 but when you look at the teeth and divide them out it's a 3.25.

Snyder's lists 3.25 gearsets.
