Other than the difference in acquiring a 427 SO block over a 428 Block,why does a 427 SO cost so much more to build.

Let's say the Side oiler block is worth $3500.00
The 428 Block worth $1500.00
The difference is $2000.00 What goes into the 427 in parts, and on it as heads etc that is different. I don't get it. Water pumps, distributor, manifolds, headers, oil pan, distributor, carburators, pistons and rings cost the same. Why is there more diffrence than just the cost of the block? Crank is ( or can be) the same.
What is left?

I am surprised someone suggested 428 maks more HP than a 427.
