Rebuild the 427.. you should be able to throw a hone on the cylinders, replace the rings, seals and gaskets for a few hundred plus labor and machine shop fees..

Find a good builder. The guy building chevys down the road will make a mess of your 427 without even knowing he did it..

If you need FE parts e-bay is a mecca for all types of obscure pieces or check the parts for sale here. I bet you can have a nice running 427 for less than 2k if you use what you have.
