    To my knowledge, all '66-'67 passenger car 327s came with fuelie heads, with the exception of the '67 327/210 Camaro engine.

    I still have a great set of "humps" -1:94's & ported. Had 'em reworked last year and they were just great. Unfortunately the 327 they were on developed a piston slap and I changed the motor to a 350 (hate to say it but it was cheaper than the 327 rebuild-loved that 327). I'm wondering if I should use those heads on the 350 (has stock iron heads) and if it would be worth the change. I just putt around with the car so no big race deal.

    The last of the 327's didn't have the camel hump or power pack head markings. They changed the castings and omitted the marks. My late model large journal 327 with 2.02's doesn't have the humps.

    Hey, at least we're talking about them newfangled overheads.

    This thread hasn't been posted on for a few months, but I want to ask a question, so I'm pulling it up again: In looking under the hood of my '68 Impala, I see the head casting on the 327 engine has the rectangle with a single hump, rather than double humps. Anybody know anything about the single camel hump casting, e.g. is it a performance head? Better or worse than a power pack head? Any info appreciated because I've searched and find nothing on single camel hump heads.

    Pull the valve cover, grab the casting number. Then look it up ;)
