    The 327 is LEGENDARY! A great motor with cool engineering history. It's way better than the LS, in my opinion. Plus, you can put on an old school carburetor on it OR an old school carburetor looking Holley EFI throttle body on it. The 327 is a win win for this particular build! Also, a Father & Son built engine is always sooo very awesome 👍 to place in your ride. Good job Casey on this video. Thanks for the video 📸, it's very appreciated!

    I've been told to put a LS swap in my 82 Buick regal I refused to since I tell them to buy the motor and wire it up for me if they can talk about it like its a easy thing to do... which can cause issue since I hate electronic issue. so I pulled my 4.1 V6 due to a crack block and spun 2 bearings and scored up the crank journal. So I bought another running V6 out of a 85 regal, pulled the old one and got the 3.8L V6 put it on the stand and did a full rebuild, and drop it in the regal. after 20 yrs I finally got it running! I made videos but haven't post another video on my update.

  • @ernestomejia110

    Another option after you removed the wiring was to carb the ls. All you need is an msd box, a carb to ls intake manifold and a carburetor. None of the wiring needed. I guess you could still carb the ls engine and use it on another project

    Ls swaps are literally the easiest thing possible you already did the hard part of getting the engine and trans in the car you could have bought a sub $200 harness and had any reputable tuner make it run correctly. I've started ls in junkyards with Milwaukee batteries and a deleted vats ecu. Basic efi knowledge goes a long way with this sort of thing. Being able to look at live data like crank and cam signals as well as tps and map and maf signals and knowing if they were correct would have allowed you to have it running effortlessly. A holley terminator x would have also had that engine running perfectly.

    Ah cam/crank sensor failures.
    In the future hook your meter up to the sensor leads and rotate the engine by hand. The sensor is an electro magnet. Either it's bad or the pick up on the crank or Cam is bad. Older Subarus you could diagnose which it was by failure. Fail to crank is crank, cranks but don't start is cam. Broken pick up is intermittent weirdness.
