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.
Wow okay. Wrong. Shorter stroke= faster reving higher reving and more hp. Longer stroke = more torq slower rev. And cannot rev as high. Ford came out with the302. When chevy losts sales they made the 327 as a filler motor it was made fast under thought out and sloppy. Then ford made the 351 and chevy responded with the improved 327 and called it a 327ho. High output. It was a flop. Chevy finally then made the 350 and did it right besides the heads. The heads r the same as a 327but have smaller valves. This is why people use a 350 with 327 heads. Get a 350 man. Thy r everywhere and easy to find parta for.
