Getting back to the engine...It's gonna take a while for you to build another 427. Why not just do up a mild 390 or 428 for the time being...just to DRIVE the car. You can always do the 427 killer engine next year. I run a somewhat mild 428 in my car and I love it. It's reliable, somewhat fast, and pretty good on gas. Sure, I'd love a 427 side oiler with 600 HP, but some things are a compromise. I understand your dilemma, and agree that the machinist must be paid, but paid by the block manufacturer, not you. In the meantime, maybe a nice 390 short block can get you on the road, and that's what it's all about. Good luck and keep the faith.
