Yep, I'd rather deal with a little piston slap than run the risk of destroying a piston and grenading the motor. But that's just one greasemonkey's opinion, you should discuss your engine components with your engine builder who will be the one repairing your motor. If you aren't gonna exceed one hp per cubic inch, or rev it up to ungodly RPM's than hypers should be fine, I don't have that kind of self control. Besides how many miles are you really planning on putting on your 427, enough to worry about wearing out the bores of your block, unlikely. You are much more likely to rev the hell out of it until something lets go in the first 5000 miles, which is sadly more miles than the average cobra awner puts on his car during his ownership of it.
