It depends how you are going to use the car. If it's only to be driven in and out of car shows a visually correct 427 is the only answer. Same goes for vintage racing an original 427 chassis. You haven't spent money unless you have done the latter and these race engines don't lend themselves to street use.

My 427 kit car chassis sees few street miles because I enjoy open track events where I can drive out of turn 9 at 95 mph and try to hit 150 mph with the GT 350s before braking for turn 1. The 7000 rpm small block still has more power than my driving ablility. I always open the hood at Cobra events. Why not?
