350's are the most common SBC and more parts are available for them.

get a 350, try for one thats hydraulic roller cam, this way you have a good engine to modify and it's one that did come in these cars. keeps it sort of original...but not really...

To be fair, aren't all three blocks the same with all the aftermarket parts being interchangeable? Or atleast the 327 and 350...
