Default 427 High-Riser

Hello. I recently built a 427 High-riser engine. Here are the specs.

-427 SO block .030 over
-Scat forged billet steel FE crank w/4.250 stroke
-Scat H-beam rods 6.700"
-ROSS Forged pistons w/10.25 compression
-Machined CNC Billet Steel Rocker Stands
-Ferrea 6000 series competition valves
-Erson Billet aluminum roller rockers
-Comp Cams Super Roller lifters
-Danny Bee belt drive kit
-High-rise heads. competition ported and polished. 3 angle valve
job.
-Custom Comp cam. 264/272 duration, .695/.697 lift, 110 degree LSA
-dual Barry Grant 850cfm carbs.

The problem is that I recently sold the car that the engine was built for. Now I am asking the very knowledgeable people at club cobra to help me decide what car I should put it into so that I can rip the Chevy's a new one. I was thinking either 1963 Galaxie, 1966 Fairlane or something similar. What I know for sure is that I don't want to spend any more than $10,000 and I defenitely don't want to put it in a Thunderbird or a Mustang. The engine is making 715hp and I plan on driving it on the street. There is a teenage kid down my street who has a 1969 Camaro with a 454 that is making about 500hp, and he says that my 427 SO is weak compared to his 454, HAHAHAHAHA. Please respond.
