Re: AMC butchery

The point is you could easily make a 360 run that fast with similar mods, no one has done it though. It would have been tough making a 327 run like that, but then it will take a lot more boost (with forged pistons) than an SBC will without breaking. A twin turbo EFI 327 w/home made tubular intake would be quite a beast! Why EFI? Don't have to worry about boost leaking through the carb. Run it up to 20-25 psi at least. Holley carbs have proven good to 20 psi, but why take chances?
