Re: Snowplowing Questions

I think a better use for the 'go fast' 327 would be to trade/sell it to someone doing a restoration on a 327 era Camaro or Nova. Get a basic stock 350 for your farm/plow truck.
4.56 gears might be better for plow use but gear swaps can get expensive. OTOH, for what you are wanting to do, gearing is more important then raw HP. As 1976gmc20 mentioned, lots of snow and field plowing is done on farms by tractors in the 20~50 HP range.
