Killer, Ya if that has the small block timing cover then you could put a stroker crank in it and the stock two four intake on it from the 318. Make it fairly stock.....sleeper look or a weiand four barrel intake and the stroker crank. I bet the cylinders are thick in that block too......it could go to a four in. bore. Of course you'd want to sonic check for that..........but it would be cool.



Bore on a 277 is only 3.75" - it probably does have thick cylinder walls, but I'd be real surprised if it would bore a full quarter of an inch.

On the other hand, a 62-5 318 poly with torqueflite would pretty much bolt in and, using the later shift cable, you could even hook the pushbutton torqueflite up to the original pushbutton shifter - you wouldn't have a button for low, but otherwise it should work OK. With a .090 overbore and a 4 inch stroker crank, you'd have a 402 poly that would run pretty strong.
