As a seller to add the question to your transmission, it has a completely gone through super T 10 is basically formatted from the M22 straight cut gears transmission they are a damn good Race or street transmission shifts beautifully up or down
As the seller to answer your question, yes it’s all forged internals steel crank. I could not tell you if they enlarge the key way for the blower drive that I do know the motor is built to do 7000 RPMs all day long. It’s got 8.5 to 1 compression very streetable The blower is set up under drive 10 to 13 psi. it was definitely built to have a lot of fun go fast in the quarter mile and very reliable. it’s probably pushed in approximately 470 hp.
Is the crankshaft cut with a 1/4" key to handle the blower setup? Does the 327 have all forged internals? Compression ratio? Also is this the M21 or M22 4 speed?

As the seller I wanted to comment on the fender flares that were done in the 60s and I took a lot of photos of them because of the craftsmanship that was done back in those days is amazing not a bunch of Bondo and fiberglass real craftsmanship went into those things as you can see
As the seller, I just wanted to comment that I do have the car track ready if desired drive line loop extended wheel, studs, and brand new sportsman’s radial tires. The car should do high 11s low 12s depending on how good of a 4 speed driver, you are. The car does qualify for three different trophy wins in our local drag strip open hood. Gasser and four speed, which are all trophy races.
Me as the seller, the owner and I literally talked to half a day about this car this car retained so much history that I enjoyed the whole time I spent with him listening as he spoke about the car. He had a couple of Race cars in his shop and I asked him why he was selling it and he said his wife was diagnosed with MS and he was going to build her a new house that they lived in the old one for 40 years so he still got to raise some of his cars at the track, but she could not ride around in this car street wise anymore
As the seller I bought this car from the original owner son that have own our local drag strip for many decades. He told me his dad bought this car new and turned it into a Race Car from day one throughout the years. It was a 10 second car. it was formatted into a gasser at that time as you can see the early style straight axle. I didn’t have the heart to pull the stickers off the back windows, cause they’re so old his son started putting it back on the street in the early2000s had a Tilt front end on it. That’s why it acquires 67 front nose. he claimed to me thatthose were original miles cause until the last couple years the car never seen the road and he said the reason his dad never chopped up the car trunk shock towers everything remain the same. He said his dad said it was a L 79 car which we have no documentation or protective plate. he said his dad blew up the original 327 in the late 60s with a rod through the block, but the car still retains it date code 10 /65 461 heads, which was on the L 79 car so a lot of indications could be true original for speed original 12 bolt original 327 car
