all I want(ed) to know is can I have a 427 FE motor (stock displacement) that can reliably hit the red line as often I choose and still have enough reliability to drive across the country w/o undue worry. Or do I need to limit my fun to low & midrange torque-type excitement?

Driving cross country back when those motors were new was still somewhat of a gamble..lol. Put together with the right parts and taken care of(water temps, oil pressure etc) there is no reason why you couldnt drive one cross country and hit red line every now and then.
Long story short the more hp you want to make the bigger the fire you gonna have to build. A 427 will make more hp and tq then you will ever be able to hook up anyway. Put it toggether with some good rod bolts, good head bolts and gaskets, a mild cam and let it go.
Just my thoughts
