That little 327 looks tough .
I am liking this aproach way better than a 6 banger ,but 2 questions.
Didnt you have to get rid of your last van because it was a van ?
And who's car is that in your avatar someone elses ?

Very nice SCK !!! Now I understand why you sold off the other one !!
Please keep the pics coming mate !! What colour are you going in the van? Is that a CRS lower alternator bracket ? did it fit well or did u need to modify the lower rails to get the alternator so low ? Does it effect the rack-n-pinion (hard to tell from the pic).
Keeping the demon spacer ? Will the cleaner penertrate the bonnet ?
Sorry for all the questions but doing very similar atm with my one, the engine is just about to go in .........

Yes, I am liking this approach better than the 6 banger also Harko...it was one of the reasons I was able to let the other van go, which I have done, and replaced with a 5 seater (sbc as well) so now I can have my cake and eat it! It is one tuff little 327..looking forward to starting it more than you know!!
Yes Mate, I need to change my avatar, it is someone elses car now (just letting go now mate!)
Cheers,
SCK

Mephious,
Yes, this is the only reason I was able to sell off the other van mate. I needed something for the kids to fit in and I was of the opinion if I had 2 vans and one was a hot 202 and the other a hot 327, one of them would get neglected (no prizes there
)
The alternator bracket is aftermarket, but not CRS..am still playing with it, it clears R&P but way too tight to subframe for my liking, so I may opt to move it up yet...
I want to keep the 2inch Spacer with the Demon, but if I do, will have some bonnet penetration, which I like to a certain extent (smooth shotgun scoop springs to mind), but it was not in the original plan in my head of how the car would look, so may go down to a 1" yet, which will (just) slip under, but allow me to use the 100 flute bonnet....
Will keep pics coming as I progress,
Cheers,
SCK
