Don't know, but you'd certainly have to start with a 9-main 327 which is far less common than the 5-main 327. The bore is 1/16 larger and the stroke is 1/4 longer so you'd need the crank. A check of the parts book will determine what other parts are unique but if you have to shop for a 359 crankshaft and a 327 9-main block, you might as well find a 359 motor.
