It sounds to me like you want to have some fun with it or you wouldn't be drooling when you think about the 327 and looking for Rustang GTs! If you've ever looked at my web page, I'm sure you know what I'm going to suggest... build the 327, have as much fun with it as you can (life is short) and if you have a boat, use that 307 to anchor a mooring bouy!

So what do you think about rebuilding a 307 engine? I have a 327/275hp out of a 68 Caprice. It is complete from the original carb. to the oil pan. (it needs rebuilt) I'm 43 and I'm trying to look at this in a practical way BUT some times we need that afternoon kick in the pants trip down the interstate......(looking for Mustang GT) and a 307/powerglide just doesn't do that.....Maybe I just need to grow out of it and keep it stock? All it really needs is valve seals and a little freshening up. That powerglide....it whines and it is like running 70MPH in second gear.
