One of the problems with 427's is that they are already bored out close to the maximum possible. When you need to bore a 427, you have to bore it in .003" increments, not the normal .010". I hate to tell you, but it is impossible to bore any Ford 427 cast iron block .030".
The stroker kit is a different story. A good way to stroke a 427 is to put in a 428 crank/pulley/flywheel in. A 428 crank stroke is .200" more than a 427 stroke.

I disagree, I have seen 427 go .040 but you must sonic check it first!
