this is just my opinion here...byt that's a lot to spend to end up with such a small motor. You need torque, which is a natural byproduct of increased CID. And personally, if I wanted to make a 327, wouldn't it make more sence to grab a 350, check the boor on it and then slap in the 307 crank? Machining would be a bit cheaper... and at $1200 for machining... you could EASILY score a good 350 core to do this, no matter how hard they are to locate in your area.
