Guest mikey_clark Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 What do you think for a 70s stock 327 and 5 speed for 0-60? Just trying to decide whether to v8 or stay with the original motor, but don't want to spend any money right now on hot rodding the v8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moridin Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Depends on the 327, your rear gears, and your tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin_Jason Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Im gonna disagree with Davy here. Sorry Davy The torque of a 327, even in stock form, would allow for 0-60 times in the hi5-low6 range...aslong as you didnt boil the balonies and learned to launch the car decently. I had a 96 Prelude vtec that ran 15.5's in the quarter and 0-60s in the low 7s. Now if a Z that weighs 500 less...and has over double the torque can't better these times then somethings wrong. Remember...the horsepower is a great reference...but the torque is whats gonna have you grinnin'. In a early 240 (light!!), the torque of even a stock 327 would be bordering 'neck snapping' when you jab the loud pedal. Think of acceleration from a roll. Not just a dead stop. You peg it on the freeway and that V8's torquewill pull you along briskly. Just my 2cents Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
