327 compared to 350's? It depends on more than cubic inches. That's why Boss Mustangs & Camaro's were so hot with 302's in the late 60's / early '70s, I do know that lots of people who should know say a 4 barrel will give better fuel economey than a 2 barrel IF you keep your foot out of it. I guess it depends on what exactly your gonna use the truck for. Do you NEED more power, or do you WANT more power. I know an engine builder who's drag race car had a straight 6. Why? Just to prove he could make anything go fast. Boils down to how much do you wanna spend.
