Look at it this way, if you get 1 hp per CI (which is pretty easy) you're ahead by 22 HP and FT-LBS just by doing the 355...

A poor word choice. I would expect the shorter stroke to push peak hp and torque higher in the RPM range. For a a light car designed for quick short runs (1/8 or 1/4 mile) the 302 with the right gearing (like a '69 Z28) can be a lot of fun. A 350 can go faster and a 350 is a better choice for our trucks.
My main point was that what you do to the motor is a lot more important than the 327/350 starting point.
