Not mine but Mike Lainhart has 427 s.o. with 487 c.i.
Keith Craft stroked it and did the head work on Mike's Edelbrock heads.
619 hp and 637 tq. Very streetable motor.

Classic build, side oiler with a 428 crank, works out to 454 cid or so.
Iron "worked" high riser heads and matching OEM dual four intake.
Literally more power than I can get traction for, nice street engine and 9.6 to 1 c.r.

All standard 427 SO. Iron block, iron MR heads, small dome TRW pistons, 11:1 compression, 4x1 blue thunder intake. Old school set-up. Just need to get a proper Holley 3255 on there...

Original FE iron block. .030" over bore.
Original forged crank with 3.78" stroke.
Keith Craft Stage II heads with 2.25" int. and 1.75" exh. valves.
Comp Cams solid roller. 252 int., 262 exh. @ .050. .637" int. lift, .667 exh. lift.
Crower solid roller lifters.
Erson roller rockers.
Tunnel wedge intake with 2 Holley 600 cfm vacuum secondaries.
22 pound aluminum flywheel.
This engine spools up freakishly fast.
If the block ever "windows", I'll replace it with a Pond aluminum block. The rest of the build will be indentical to the current engine.

Dern Kev, are you EVER going to make up your mind??? 
I've got lotsa real nice cubes in mine, 482 of them to be exact, all stuck very neatly in an all aluminum Pond shell. 
I'm REAL happy I didn't go with a heavy cast iron block, especially the HEAVIEST of the bunch... a Genesis block

Kevin, I've had many FEs through the years. From 427 cubes up to 542 cubes. Both aluminum & iron blocks. Contrary to alot of opinions on here, there is nothing "wrong" with having aluminum or iron. What's most important is that the motor is built to your driving application. I've had & then sold high horsepower motors because they suck on the street. High Horse numbers are great for bragging rights but that gets old real fast.
Make the engine suitable to your driving needs. My newest motor is a monster 521 stroker with full roller hydralic Cam. Massive torque down low. (638 ft. lbs at 2700 rpm) Horse peaks out at 500 hp at 5000 rpm & stays flat from there. I added a 500 hp shot of nitrous which brings the power up to way more then I can hook. Makes for a nasty street motor that seconds as a strip motor when I need to blow off some stress. Next winter I plan on adding the Shotgun Hemi Boss heads & another carb to add some more streetable horses & finish the eye appeal of the motor when the hood is up. Anyway, not to steal the thread but just add my .02 cents of saying have the motor built to fit your driving application. Not someone else's idea of what it should be. Otherwise after awhile you will be unhappy with it.
Regards,

Mick, sounds impressive. Can you send me the dyno sheet ?
That much torque down low must be fun. 
Dave- nope, gotta make a decision soon !
I just want it perfect,.... for me, the first time around. I'm not rich,...like you. lol

I would like to go back to the original stroke of the 427 next time I rebuild. The 428 crank, longer stroke, is an inexpensive quick way to gain some cid. But I like the big bore short stroke recipe.
