I thought TPI motors were only 305 and 350's. Learn something new everyday.

327 didn't come in any third gen. Its probably a motor from an older chevy that got swapped in at one point and they just reused the tpi induction.

I'll bet thats no 327 in that car.
those style heads dont fit the
old school blocks unless there modified.

I tried to put 91 tpi heads on my
85 tpi trans am with an old school
350 and the head bolts have a
different degree angle.

I believe those heads only fit 87 and
up blocks but this was like 10 years ago
when i tried the swap and found out through
thirdgen.org that they would'nt fit

Hmm that looks ALOT like my friends car, would also explain the missing interior since he had a glassed interior with a system he took out after he smacked a curb and snapped front tie rod and rear axle shifted over. He ragged on that car and it also had a 327. I'll have to text him and see what happened to it.
