Not the end of story.
A 427SB is not just stroked to 427.
427SB bore=4.125
460SB bore= 4.155
427FE=4.230
If they sound different, it's not just because of bore. Casting density is a larger part of it.
Don't make generalized empirical statements. You obviously never heard a 718HP 427 SB or a 358 680HP SB. Blindfolded, you can't tell the difference among them and an FE, stroked or not.
Sound has little to do with bore size. Other sound experts above not withstanding.
