I would go with the FIA and a 302 maybe stroked to 331, possibly aluminum block and a TKO 600. Much cheaper all around than a 427so and much easier to work on. Power will be more than adequete and it will be more rare than a SC. I have had a 427so with webers and although a really cool motor , they are expensive to build , to run, and difficult to work on. Dont try and put a small block in an SC however, that just is not right, and I would not put an exotic stroked 351 in an FIA either, use the engine class that the body style was intended for.
