So, I have to ask: one engine is a block that started out as 390 that has been bored (with plenty of wall thickness - no overheating problems) and now has 428 pistons and crank in it. It is a true 428 now. Another engine always was and still is a 428. Other than the origin of the blocks they are identical. Is there any difference in value?
The problem being that us FE fanatics take 428 blocks and bore them out even larger...

A 428ci "428" would be a dead giveaway in this crowd.
