Ford build the 428 for street cars and trucks.
4.13" bore and 3.98" stroke. Lots of low end torque but out of steam about 5500 rpms.

The 427 was a high rpm race motor. 4.23" bore and 3.78" stroke. Made it's power in the high rpm range. By 1965 Ford had a 427 that could turn 7500 rpms for 24 hours. That won races for them.

Different motors but pretty much the same block.
