Nice color on the engine!
There are a lot of factors that affect cfm requirements such as, h.p. rating, maximum rpm's, compression ratio, size of the cam, rear gearing, auto or manual trans, etc. Too big of a carb, and low-mid range driving will suffer, too small and the engine will starve out at higher rpm's. Calculations show your 327 flow capabilities to be 567 cfm @ 6,000 rpm's, and 615 cfm @ 6,500 rpm's. As you might guess, your engine is going to be stretching the 600 carb to it's limits, and maybe even a little beyond. So with that, I would say a 600 cfm carb is too small, and consider slapping a 650 on instead.
