The 327, in it's day, was a nice free-revving V8, and lighter then the 350 at the time, good for weight balance in a car meant to handle (Vette, Z/28). Was mainly kept around to run in the Trans-Am series with the Camaro, if I recall right there was a displacement limit and the 327 was the answer to that limit.. The 5.3 is still in the trucks as a base engine. Good power, torque, and economy. Most fuel efficient non-hybrid V8 in any current truck...
