IMO it's a no brainer. You've got an engine that's about to grenade and some guy has a dis-assenbled 350 that's been rebuilt that he wants to trade for it. He probably wants a 327 for a period correct restoration or he just wants a 327. I'd look at the parts and if they looked fresh and new I'd trade in a minute. There's probably $300 tp $500 worth of parts for the 350 and even if the block is cracked there are tons of them around.

There's lots of reasons for the 350 to not be assembled besides something being wrong with it. Like LMH said the worst case scenario is about what you've got now with the 327. My .02
