Yet Another 23rd Series Question

Posted by Steve Henderson On 2018/3/10 20:20:26

I hope I'm not being a nuisance with all these questions. I just discovered that this 39,000 mile original time capsule (2362 Deluxe Eight) has a 327 cylinder head. I know it may have had it replaced due to overheating and cracking the original head. But did the factory ever use 327 heads on a 288 engine? And if this is a replacement head, does it alter the compression ratio or maybe cause problems down the road? It's hard for me to believe that in 39,000 miles it would have needed cylinder head replacement. The engine runs great. Just wondering whether anyone else has run into this.

Thanks,

Steve
