Any of our trusted FE gurus can take an easily found, proved to be meaty by sonic tests, 390 and turn it in to your dream FE engine that you couldn't tell the difference in performance from the side oiler that got away. If you're hung up on the number "427" they could probably hit that number for you, although the bore won't be as fat. But my advice is to forget the numbers and rely instead on the expertise of the builder. They will tell you that stroking and boring a 390 with the right parts will easily out-perform original side oilers. And if you stumble on a nice original 428 block, that's even better.
