I spent $10k for a rebuilt 427 that was .015 over in pieces. I would love to have found a NOS block but they were 5k at that time and they generally need plenty of machine work and prep. I'd go $4500 for a new OEM side oiler with the machining done and ready to assemble.

Using that thinking then the only "real" 427 S/O block are those that were made by Ford. H/M falls exactly in the same catagory as Pond and Genesis. I see no benefit, other that the name, over the others.
