No need to even think about replacing the Packard connecting rods, they are very sturdy. And yes, the 327 has a longer stroke by 1/2" so piston speeds will be higher.

IMO, a steady diet of 75-80 mph is abusive of pretty much any car of that era, not to mention concerns about handling, breaking, metal fatigue, and the like.
