Sorry if this topic has been hit on before. I'm new to the forum! Thanks in advance!!

Honestly, and not to pick on you, but your question is far too generic to respond to with a quality answer. Who's kit? what are the specs on the car, chassis, what color is it (this all plays into the facts of costs vs quality investment or over investment) Specs on the 427 motor (some were truck motors and hold little real world value stock), which block, which heads, which intake, carb, etc. Side Oiler, center oiler, casting numbers would help.
Bottom line, it is your car, your money, spend it to make you happy, but honestly, do not look at the car as an investment.
