Just my .02 worth and not arguing the horsepower and torque figures as you can get almost anything out of any engine any more. But I think the 427 would be a more stable driver if you are just going to use it for fun as pushing the Windsor out to 427 puts you on the very ragged edge. Mine is out to 416 and my big block at 439 is putting out close to the same power and torque and it isn't stressed at all. I do like the small block stroker as it handles very well and has way more power than one of these light cars needs and mine is just a baby compared to most in the club. I just think that taking the 351 out to 427 is pushing it to far for reliability.
