Stocker engine Input please

The 396/350 for 68 carries only 15 more HP than the 396/325, and gets 0.060" and 0.080" more cam lift. You could run the 396 and pick the HP rating by just changing cams. And you get to run a 3 speed automatic with the 396 engines.

The 327/275 and the 350/295 look to be decent, if you have to run an automatic, and it has to be a PowerGlide, I'd think the stroke of the 350 would help the PowerGlide at least enough to make the 15HP difference up.
