Steve,

I think I would stay away from stroking the 351 out to 427. Mine is at 416 and most of them are around the 393 range. The only two that I have actually seen stroked to 427 didn't last long. I have had mine since 1996 and have driven it hard and it has stayed toigether great. As for the horsepower you don't have to go to 427 to make 500 +. Mine puts out about 520-530 and a friend of mine who has his stroked to 410 gets around 540. As for the big block small block thing, that is a no winner as half the people swear by one and the other half by the other. I have one of each and both have their advantages and disadvantages. I personally like the 351 much better for conering and fun driving.
