Re: 327 vs 350

There is a lot more to the question than the number. The 302, 327 and 350 all have 4" bores. The stroke length is what changes the displacement. Generally, shorter stroke will will be quicker. Longer will have more horsepower. Although either can be good, 350 is probably better for our trucks and is more common. If I was building a light car for the drag strip the 327 or 302 might get preference.

Spend your money (and you can spend a lot) on heads, carb, intake, exhaust. That is where the magic happens. With the right stuff bolted on, either of the motors can make gobs of power. By the way, I choose option "C". I am keeping the 305. It is limited but more than enough for my needs. Most of the bolt-ons will move from the 305 to the other motors.
