Not Ranked
It's iconic, basically because of the 427 Cobra and the 427 Fairlanes/Galaxies of the 60's. The side oiler block has provisions for strength and reliability that no other factory FE block has.
I've built both 427/428 FE engines in stock-ish form and also did a 427 for a '68 Corvette. They all were within single digits of each other on hp and torque.
