However, if you have a tight budget, and want an FE, then the 390 is the way go.
Yes, because if you want an original iron block, from the original time frame, that "technically" matches originality, then that's the easiest way to do it. Finding original 427 blocks, that are in good shape, is getting pretty hard. Under some conditions, having an old block in your car gets you around the emissions problems.
