Interestingly, the OP is looking for a SBF 427, not a 427 FE - so it appears he's looking for displacement to match the badge on the fender, not an engine faithful to those used in the original 427 S/C cars.

I must be missing something, as I don't understand the obsession with matching (or exceeding) the number on the badge.
