I second Race X's suggestion. I jumped the gun and purchased a stroker kit for my 351 W block. After the fact I was told from Ford Motorsports that you should not stroke the Ford block over 4". There are all kinds of stroker kits out there and most of them use a 4.170 stroke. They do work but why take a chance. Spend the extra $$ and get a good block that will allow a 4.125" bore and a 4" stroke, this should give you the 427 your after. The Dart block will have the 4 bolt main and much better oiling. I am pushing my 351W block aside and going the Dart route. Live and learn.....
