Going from a small block configuration to big block would require more than just headers. I imagine the bellhousing, motor mounts, etc would require replacement, from a scratch build then yes price is the same. I will never own another engine without an hydraulic roller cam. Get tired of playing the
oil addiditve game.

The "real" 427 design was classic race thinking, big bore, short stroke. Most the of the great engines of yester year and today follow that principle, "over square", big bore relative to their short stroke. Porsche being a classic example, there are many others.
The small bore will not allow for big valves, compared to a "real" 427.
