I would build a stroker if you are going to drive the car on the street mostly with a little track time on open track events. If you put a 428 crank in the 427 block it becomes about a 454 ci. This makes for a nice torque monster for the street but still has the horsepower for the track. It is not uncommon to have on of these engines put 475 horsepower and 475 ft-lbs of torque and still be reliable for a long time.
