Red, yes, stroker kits are common for the Windsor motor. THe stock motor is a 4.00" bore by 3.50" stroke. You add to the stroke to come up with the various cids.

427s are expensive, yes. You will spend about 15K or more to build or buy one. Keep in mind Shelby makes 427 aluminum blocks that are reproductions of the original 427 (except the oilling system is different). But FE parts will interchange. Cost is in the same neighborhood.

FEs are 332, 352, 390, 406, 410, 427, and 428 and numerous other truck engines with different displacements.

THe 429 is not an FE engine. It belongs to the 385 engine family. 385 is the name for 429 and 460s, just like 335 is the name assigned to the Cleveland family of engines (351 Cleveland and 400 cid). The 460 is just a stroked 429.

Good luck.
