The 327cuin V8, introduced in 1962, had a bore of 4in and a stroke of 3.25in (82.55mm). Power ranged from 210hp to 375hp depending on the choice of carburetor or fuel injection, camshaft, cylinder heads, pistons and intake manifold. In 1962, the Duntov solid lifter cam versions produced 340hp (250kW), 344lb⋅ft (466N⋅m) with single Carter 4-barrel, and 360hp, 352lb⋅ft (477N⋅m) with Rochester fuel-injection. In 1964, horsepower increased to 365hp (272kW) for the now dubbedL-76version, and 375hp for the fuel injectedL-84respectively, making the L-84 the most powerful naturally aspirated, single-cam, production small block V8 until the appearance of the 385hp (287kW), 385lb⋅ft (522N⋅m) Generation IIILS6in 2001. This block is one of three displacements that underwent a major change in 1968/1969 when the main journal size was increased from 2.30 to 2.45in. In 1965 Chevrolet released the now legendaryL-79, which was nothing more than an L-76 (11.0:1 forged pop-up pistons, forged steel rods and crank, 2.02 Corvette heads), but with the 30-30 Duntov cam replaced by the #151 hydraulic cam.
In 1966, Checker began offering the 327 as an option.[8]TheAvanti IIand its successors were powered by the 327 and later versions of the small-block V8.
In 1968, the 327 was exported to Australia for use in theHolden HK Monaro GTS327. The engine was used in the Monaro after development of the locally madeHolden V8 enginefell behind schedule. The 327 was replaced in the 1969 Monaro by the 350.
