From what I remember, I want to say all 428's were externally balanced, but only the 428SCJ needed the "hachet" for the heavier "LeMans" connecting rods.

427's came with cast and steel cranks, but I think the cast cranks were lighter, and revved easier with some performance advantage.

I'm not sure if the piston reliefs on the top of the pistons are the same for a FE and a BBC, so even if the bore is the same, they may not be optimal, unless you're talking about a flat top.
