Canibalchicken,
I have seen you say this several times before and have bit my toung (or fingers).
Where in the world did you ever come up with the idea that "Built the same, a 327 will beat a 350 every time"? Sure, there are 327s that can clean the clock of a 350, but the key word is "Built the Same".
The 327 was and still is an outstanding and highly proven engine. However, the 327 and 350 are basically the same engine with the 350 having .248" longer stroke, which equals more torque. Torque = pulling power.
I loved the 327 in it's day, it was top dog, but when the 350 came along, it's "day" ended.
"Built the Same", a 327 won't touch a 350.

Well it is just my opininon anyway so it doesn't matter. However my Uncle had a 65 and a 69 vet the 65 had a 327 with 350hp and the 69 had a 350 with 350hp. The 65 would run circles around the 69. The 327 with a shorter stroke will rve faster and higher giving you a faster engine. But again it is Just My opinion.

what I ment by built the same is, same heads, compression, cam, intake and all that stuff is the same only difference being the crank rods and pistons. Bigger isn't always faster.
