[B]Hey, i am a new member and i am planning on building a 327 over the next year or so . I want 500/500 power.

Lets see, New member, Welcome to the club. We are glad to have You here and look forward to talking to You in the future. The el camino sounds like a nice ride.

Now ! Wake up, This dream is nice but not too realistic . A 327--350hp makes a real nice street motor that You can enjoy.
The most advertized torque that a 327 ever had was 360@3600 rpm. That was with 11 to 1 compression and good gas.

You would enjoy the 350 or so hp. in your el camino on the street. Anything more you will pay the price in more ways than one.

Just my opinion, not worth to much, Its your money, Your truck, do as you wish. Good Luck and Again WELCOME!
