Don't kid yourself -- just because the displacement adds up to 427 on the inside does not make it a 427 -- except to Helen Keller, maybe. It doesn't look the same, and it doesn't sound the same. Yes you can get astounding performance out of a small block, but if it's authenticity you crave, a small block in a 427 car just ain't it.
