Please forgive my ignorance here, but here goes:
I'm seeing a fair amount of cars out there for sale with small block Windsors as327 or 408 variants. Without debating the need to go to a 427 or 428 (let's just assume we need to), what is the right move? Should one be looking for the 427 to start or just finding a good car, even if the engine is not up to spec, and going through the effort to increase the smaller displacement?

So I guess the question is, do you skip on a good car because of the engine or buy it and modify it, and where will you end up cost wise?
