The external dimentions of a 327 and a 350 are ideantical, so both will fit. A TPI setup will work on both as well, since both have the same bore, so the computer should work fine on the 327 and 350. The 350 will make more power, and it will also cost less to build.

Build the 350, you'll be much happier and have alot more pocket change left for the kick-***-gas

If I had a 327 and had to buy a builder 350, I'd go with the 327, even if I had to spend more for the rebuild parts than I would for the same 350 parts. Uunless I could buy a 350 for the difference in parts costs, then I'd get the 350 even if I already had a 327.

But, I don't have either, nor the money right now to get either, so it's a moot point for me.
