Hi,

Your not comparing apples to apples here.
A Toyota Inline 6 with "Twin Turbo" will be a far better motor than the 'beefed up' 327 V8. However, TT the V8 and you'll be in for some serious power. You can't really compare a Twin Turbo Six to a NA V8, even though the V8 will ultimatly have more torque than the six.
You will find that a 327 V8, even though strong and can deliver high power figures will never be as 'modern' as the Inline 6. The 6 just has too much engineering and years ahead of the 327 for the V8 to be a match. Sure..you can get big power..but you can do it with the 6 just as well, with probly less money and more reliabilty.
If you were to really want the V8 option..why not go for the GenIII 5.7 V8? It's modern, it's powerful and can pack a real punch. I think Comparing such a motor to the Inline 6 is a better argument. Simply because they share the same technological advance as each other. Just my .02.

Thanks.
McFly.
