Not Ranked
I have often thought about building a destoked 427. I thiink the FT 330 and 361 forged cranks are good starting places, but ina addition to the snout needing to be turned down, you also need to grind the rear flange thinner where the flywheel attaches, and also you need to regrind all the counterweights, as these cranks are very heavy, and you need to take some of that extra mass off of it so it can spool up quicker.
Regarding the rods, you would probably regrind the journals for BBC rods, and use something like a 7.0" length, for a high rod/stroke ratio.
pistons would be custom.
As for the heads, probably something like Dove tunnel port with the raised exhaust ports.
It definitely would be something different.
Or, you could buy ex-nascar stuff and build a 351W.
