Summit sent Brian a set of King CR803S1 .010 rod bearings and one set of MB 554AM .010 mains so we will give them a try and see how they fit. King claims they will work even though the box says they are for a SB Chevy, we'll see. Bob | |||

The King rod and main bearing sets that Summit sent will not work. FYI: The 1966 AMC 327, other than the bore (4.00 and stroke (3.25) is totally different than a Chevy 327. (1) Chevy stock 327 rods are 5.70 long and the AMC stock 327 rods are 6.375 long. Therefore the Chevy L/S ratio is 1.754, the AMC L/S ratio is 1.962. This engine also has a steel crank. (2) The wrist pins for a Chevy 327 are .927 the AMC are .931. (3) The Chevy 327 deck height is 9.025 the 327 AMC deck height is 9.994. (4) The 327 Chevy compression height for a stock flat top piston is 1.654 while the 327 AMC flat top piston is listed as 2.187. (5) No one manufactures a aluminum intake for an AMC 327. (6) The FM rod and main sets Footloose listed are correct. We did locate a set of rod bearings (-.010) and a set of mains (-.020). They should arrive here by Saturday. Perhaps this nightmare may be over. Last remaining missing item is a oil pump pick-up. I can fabricate one to fit. Thanks for all the help guys! Bob | |||

Just when you thought that it could not possibly get any worse.....guess again! Galvin's AMC Parts in Washington State shipped the -.010 rod and -.010 main sets, they arrived late Friday afternoon. Both sets were crushed during shipment folded in half, totally destroyed. Not a joke! He is filing a shipping claim on Monday. He now owns two sets of bearings, one from Summit (incorrect) and a set from Galvin's (destroyed during shipment) for a total investment of $800. Not blaming Galvin's but hope that they have a second set of -.010's. Great idea Bill, chroming the shaft may be our only option since we did find a set of -.001's and a set of -.002's. Bob | |||
