Why not sell off your 2.7 for a 3l, install it and drive it for 6 mos. to a year so you can figure out what you like/don't like/want in that engine? There are plenty of guys in the HSR series that would want your 2.7l so it should be easy to sell. Then you can design your build around that platform. Depending on what you want your engine for will pretty much dictate what you do for the rebuild. I went a slight track upgrade but really wanted to maintain the bulletproof reliability of the 3.2l so all I did was clean the piss out of everything I could, updates, seals and gaskets, serviced the fuel injectors, sent the heads out and lastly, cams & exhaust. Anyway, my point is, because I took my time in figuring out what I wanted, I was able to do my rebuild to exactly what I wanted my cars engine to do. So, I hope you figure it out.
