The 327ci L76 V8 was equipped from the factory with a single four-barrel carburetor and a high-lift camshaft for a factory rating of 340 horsepower. Service since 2021 has included installing a COMP Cams camshaft and lifters, replacing the valve guides and seats, rebuilding the carburetor, and replacing the dual exhaust system, heater core, and radiator.
The engine stamping includes sequence 3112785, which matches the last six digits of the vehicle’s serial number. The RE suffix corresponds with a 340-horsepower, 327ci V8 for use with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and an optional Positraction differential.
Replacement interior components from Al Knoch Interiors were installed in 2021. The bucket seats and center armrest are upholstered in red leather, and additional features include a heater, an AM/FM radio, an analog clock, and lap belts.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level.
The five-digit odometer shows 39k miles.
