Hi 427spr,
You can build a very streetable 427-W with either the DART OR new BOSS block. We just built a 408-W and it is very mild and made 491 hp & 515 ft lbs with very streetable manners. It idles nice and made over 400 ft lbs below 3000 rpm.
With a lite weight car, 500+ hp is one hell of a ride....
