As much as I loved the 327s and still do, I do not agree with your statement at all. Why do you think Chevy graduated from the 327 to the 350 in 1969 and never looked back. Let me give you this example.

65 to 68 Corvette,327--350hp. 69 Corvette,350--350hp.

350 hp. @ 5800 RPMs 350 hp. @5600 RPMs

Torque 360 @ 3600 RPMs Torque 380 @ 3200 RPMs

Both motors had 11 to 1 compression

Years ago when I was debating on weather I should build a 383 or a 406 I went to a friend who has been building race motors professionally for both Nascar and for the drag racers for over 30 years. I ask this same question. His answer was , A 327 and a 350 built exactly the same and with the same care, the 350 will be faster. A 383 and a 406, the answer would still be the same.

We've all heard it a 1000 times before. There is no replacement--------
