427

I was at a car show this past Saturday (09/16) when a person came up to me to talk about my car. He was interested in purchasing a cobra and wanted some information. He asked what motor was in my car and told him that it was a 428 (PI) block with the Edelbrock RPM heads and intake. The guy looked at me and said "it should have a 427 it would be worth more money"-I asked him why and he replied "because it's a the better motor." Again I asked why and he didn't have an answer. My question, is the 427 SO or CO better than a well built 428(non stroker) or a stroked 390? My motor dyno'ed at 524hp and 544tq- I understand the engine dyno is perfect conditions with free flowing headers and mt heads have alot of work done to them (from the previous owner) and even the engine builder wasa surprised when he inspected the heads on how much work was done. I figure in the car the 428 is probably around 495hp with the rw hp at 395-400. Is the 427 (SO/CO) better?
