Thanks for the good advice, all. It's really helpful.
If I can find a reasonably priced, reliable shop to do the work here in San Jose, I'm going to go with the recommendation to stroke the motor up to a 427. By the way, the new PAW kit now only goes up to 420. Something about a new crank shaft. Since Bob hooked me on his "something special about a 427..." comment, it seems like I should go for those final 7 ci's or bust.
Any other recommendations on a quality kit to get me there? I found this one by searching the net.
