Topic: and then the cop said,

 And he said, I don't have to tell you why I pulled you over do I?  I replies well, yes sir. He said mufflers, you sounded a little loud after you got over the railroad tracks I couldn't see you until you came over the hill but you were going the speed limit by then. I said thank you.
 I had rolled slowly across the tracks and then hammered it, we both knew I was busted.

Early 70's, on the way to the lake, we left about dusk, but nobody was dressed for night riding. After midnight, leaving a one-stoplight town, we did what motorcyclists do when presented with a straight and open road, we gave it what for. A couple miles out of town I saw the flashers come on way way back, so I eased off from way too fast, the cop went flying past me. A bit later, the two ahead of me figured out what was happening and backed off. The guy in front on a Kaw 500 MachIII was tucked in low for a top end run and couldn't make out the flashers behind him. It took a couple more miles to get his attention away from his top end run.
 The officer collected our papers, and set us in the cruiser. He put the heater on high, and left the car as more cruisers showed up. I think we had the whole night shift of the Huron County Sheriff present. It took about twenty minutes to run our licenses, and we were beginning to thaw out. Everybody came up clean, so we got a little talking to, the warm up that we desperately needed, and we were sent on our way, without citations.

My buddy's story, he had a 64 impala 327 four speed. He were boogieing along a little fast one evening red lights pop up behind us. We pull over and act cool, the cop walks up and asks for his ID. Reads it, doesn't even go back to the squad. He says, hey is Sue your sister?  My buddy says yeah. Cop says, I haven't seen her in a while, would you ask her to give me a call?  Of course he was quite willing to be of assistance in the matter and we were left with a Thanks, drive safely, see you around.

I like 327s,the number just sounds good and its a sort of forgotten engine in the cubic capacity race?we had them factory fitted here to 1968 holden monaros with muncies,the first v8 holdens were chevy powered,the chevy 307 was also used but mostly had the powerglide auto,the actual first holden v8 was released the year after being the 253 then the 308 from the same casting,the last ones got factory stroked to 355,the aftermarket here caters stroker kits to 383 from a 308,the early pre smog 308 is no slouch with the stock qjet,the 253 got the Stromberg two barrel,later smog 253s also got the smogged out qjet though,holden also used Saginaw 4 speeds through the years,the variable ratio power steering was bendix/bishop box with Saginaw vane pump.

327's were damn good engines

And than the cop said:

Do you know who I am?

I am your neighbor!


He let me go, I was 20 miles over speed limit.

We always thought the 307 was a slug but when the 305's came out they looked pretty good. The 327's with the high output 2.02 heads would really wind up.

[dave500]

the only thing that really held the 307 back was the two barrel carb,swap out a four barrel manifold and standard qjet and see what it does to its drivability?imagine putting a two barrel on a 327?like what happened to smog 400s?

[dusterdude]

The 307 was a dog,make a good boat anchor

My K0 was not treated well by the po and I got it running in the fall to see what needed work over the winter.  The neck had tapered bearings but they were flat spotted and when the flats all lined up it was difficult to maintain my straight line. The solution was to pull over and turn lock to lock a few times to mix the bearings back up.
 So I was riding down main street and it appeared as if I was drunk wobbling around so I pulled over and did the lock to lock a dozen times or so, it was then I felt like I was being watched, I looked across the street and there were 3 Illinois state police bikes with their riders about to get on all looking at me like, WTF?
 I realized I must have looked rather silly so I got rolling and gone before an explanation was needed. Their look spoke volumes, lol.
