Chuck. There is nothing wrong with stroking the 427. Especially if you are building the motor from parts. It's cheaper to use a good 428 crank than find a good 427 crank, and it's plenty tough if you want to street drive and the occasional drag strip pass. And the bigger displacement allows the same HP with a lower state of tune. Low rpm is easier on the valve train as well. Ego might be part of the equation, but it also makes economic sense.

BTW, the 427 crank is forged, the 428 is cast
