You should get rid of the old 327 for a new highly techincal 1.6 Liter VTech motor to get some real power.

You could do that but since I'm so weak I normally cry like a little girl until the other person feels so dispised by me they walk away. That's when I hit them with a bat in the back of their head.

Hey, you've seen me. I could never win a fight.

what kinda engine you looking at?

a 327 can be built to make more power than a similar 350 (alomst as much as the chevy 302 can) the short stroke is better for hp (hurts torque a little though)

Wow, I guess no one cares Mark. But they should because it's an awesome engine you're checking out.

You can always work on that after you get it. I'm sure it'll make more than your 327 and let's be honest, torque is just plain fun to have.

Put a nice cam and port the heads. You'll lose torque but you'll gain horsepower.

Do you have to give the guy an answer soon? I'd say research both as much as possible and see what the costs would be on both and what kind of hp/tq you'd be looking at. Personally I'd get the 454 and go from there but it's up to you.
