If you want your car yo look as original as possible, you'll want that 427 for sure. The 427 is THE engine to have, and no one will argue that. Eight or nine grand is CHEAP for a good 427 SO. An aluminum 427 will can set you back 25K. If it is freshly rebuilt, see if that builder will give you some sort of guarantee. The 427 should produce around 425-450 hp, and that's good. Also, a super stroked 351 will always look like a 351, if that's ok with you.
Just my .02
