    I own a repair shop and have acquired a '92 camaro with the 350 TPI. I have a 66' short wide box with a 327/275 horse. If you had the choice what motor the 350 or the 327 with a "little" massage therapy?

    The 350 TPI will require more work, for sure, but the results would be a good running / performing truck that you could drive anywhere. Gas milage should be better than the 327 and it looks sexier under the hood too.

    The 327 is an easy swap and is a good motor. It's going to be a trade-off on milage though.

    Be diffrent. Take the top end off the 350 and make a 327 TPI.
