As they both have a 4" bore, a 350 essentially is a stroked 327. (327 stroke is 3.25", 350 is 3.48", 383 is 3.75"). The journal size on the crankshafts changed in '68, so if you have a '68 or later 327, a 350 crank would drop in without any work.

This is usually better for a smaller car. The ideal starting place for a heavier Chevelle would be a 350 and make it a 383. I'm not sure if anyone had stroked a 327, but this might be a way to get more from the block you have, if that is your concern.
