392:
What really made up my mind was the mechanic who is building the engine after the last "break." He said, "You're bulletproof now with the forged pistons. Only weakness is the crank. You may want to replace that at some point."
Well, the engine was apart and with the ability to easily replace the crank, I figured now was the time. Just more $$$$. Changing the crank modified the stroke and with a different piston I'll be at 427.
Now when I'm asked, "Is that a 427?" I won't have to say, "What's the plate on the fender say, Stupid!" or "Well. no, it's a FMS 351 Winsor stroked to 393 although they call it a 392, etc., etc." My reply now is, "Yes, it's a 427."
Besides, it may even go faster!!
Good luck.
