Which would you choose? I have a small block 327 thats tore apart waiting to get put back together; it's bored 30 over and needs a set of good heads.

The 292 is already in the truck and seems to be pretty peppy. I have seen a few turbo'd 292's but that would require a lot more work and money. Originally the plan was to just run the 292 until i got the 327 built. But with another kid on the way i'm thinking of rebuilding the 327 and sell it, keep 292.

I want the truck to almost be a daily, no winter driving i'm in PA. I wouldn't mind using the truck to pull a trailer every once in awhile. So it almost seems more economical to use the 292 assuming it would get better gas.
