Vote 428 or aluminum 427FE??
Before you vote, please read.
-I already have a 428 standard bore motor and a brand new 462 all forged stroker kit. However, the pistons will need to be replaced because Blank sent me +29cc custom pistons. I want around a 10:1 compression ratio and these pistons will provide around 9:1 without decking a lot of material off the block deck.
-I have an offer for 800.00 on the 428fe block.
So, i could technically sell the 428 and purchase a machined shelby aluminum 427 block and be out an extra 5600-Plus the cost of new pistons of course, but that is kind of wash since i will need to replace them for the 428 as well if i use it.
So, is it worth the extra 5600 for the 427FE aluminum block in the long run? The 427 will be a 482 with the stroker kit. Do you think that i will get that extra 5-6gs out of the car if i sell it in the future, or would i be better off with building the 428 as a 462 stroker?
