How do mate. I'm an old Rust-Belt Yankee Doodle Buckeye, and although I am a Mopar fan, let me school you about a few things with your HP 327. Freeze-frame this video at time index 37:00 for 2 things. First, you have 'camel-hump' heads with 2.02 intake valves; very rare in the 21st century. The major flaw with these heads were the pressed in rocker studs. A common practice, here in the US, was to replace those studs with threaded in studs. Those press fit studs had a tendency to pop out at high RPMs, or if the engine overheated a few times. Cool dude, thanks for the ride on the way-back machine.

Those are 194 intake valves which most double hump heads had from the factory. The pistons look like seal power or TRW replacements. The factory head gasket were steel shim. Would be curious what the bore size was.

G’day Rusty, Cheers for the info mate :) Did a little research and it seems like these are the stock heads to have from that era. Dope! Have read before that the pressed in rocker studs need to be given the flick so I’ll be sure to do that, makes sense. Thinking hardened valve seats too and get ‘em sized up to the 2.02’s if they aren’t already. Also I’ll try and swing up a bore measurement soon, I think it may have been machined a little over in the past. Thanks for watchin!

Nice video. My suggestion would have been to number the lifters so they can be put back on the same lobes if you wanted to reuse the cam.

Thank you :) I absolutely agree but I can guarantee that I won’t be reusing this cam/valve train when this motor gets fired up again. The new plans for this motor are a lot more high reving/racey
