I would put the s-10 tbi in it if you put in a 327 you will have all type of emission and computer work to mess with $$$ and even with the tbi you might have to have the computer re set for it. save the gas and put the 327 in a older car like a 66 chevy ss etc. this way it will pass the emission  junkie test. ok
