It seems the aluminum 427 block is always overlooked in this type of post/replies.

I looked at a build cost of $21,000 for a 418 CID stroked windsor that produced about 560 Hp and over 500 ft. lbs. of torque.

I then found I could build an aluminum block and heads FE for only slightly more. More torque and more HP. The weight is within 60 lbs. of the Windsor block.
