"I was told it creates more horsepower"

You may indeed create more horsepower with a 327 over a 350 if you buzz it to the moon. It's all a matter of moving air through the motor. The more air through the motor, the more power you make.

But horsepower is not what you need. You need torque at low rpm's to move a street machine like an El Camino. I know I've shown this link until everybody on the board wants to puke, but it's the best that I've found for formulating a plan based on requirements. All these builds are dyno-proven. Pay particular attention to the builds which produce maximum torque under 4,000 rpm's.http://www.ryanscarpage.50megs.com/combos1.html
