I have a 1965 chevy C-10 and I bought a '79 chevy long box pulled the motor out and found out it was a 327 small journal with 350 heads on it. The motor is locked up rods are seized. I am going to bore it out .30 over but I don't know what to do with the rest of it. I have read some articles stating this is one of the best small blocks ever produced and I want to utilize this some how any Ideas?

Stick withthe crank you've got, have it cleaned up along with the block, find a set of budget aluminum heads and a cam to match, you'll have a good engine. Don't bother with trying to stroke it out, I don't know of any stroker kits for the small journal blocks.
