The 327 cubic-inch V8 is the proper displacement for a '62, and in total, the presentation has a high degree of originality. Still, you also instantly see a nice investment in performance. That's because this small block now inhales deeper with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock and Edelbrock aluminum intake. Not only does this add power, but this kind of investment is also why this V8 fires up readily. The newer dual exhaust makes a sweet sound, and you're in full control of it all thanks to the four-speed manual transmission.
