Default 427- 428 parts compatability

I asked this question on the FE Forum and only got one response. Hope that things might get discussed here a little more thoroughly.

I have been considering a weber setup for my 428 and see there is one for sale on eBay right now. It is for a 427 that is listed on the "parts for sale" forum.

Question, does the intake from the 427 fit onto a 428FE motor??

The answer that I already got was "yes, unless my heads have been milled."

Does everyone else concur? And how does one go about determing if the heads have been milled?

How finicky are these Weber setups? Do they need a lot of adjustments with the seasonal changes... temperature... humidity ???

I have had some people tell me they are just like my carb - tune it and go, others think they need constant adjusting...

Really like the idea and could afford these, but can't make the leap for a new set. Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks
