With FE parts becoming harder to find and soaring prices I'd keep them around for a while. 427's will forever be a most difficult thing to find. even the good 428 stuff is creeping up in price also. The 390's will be sought after for being a cheaper alternative. I can still find 390's here in CT for around $200 complete which is becoming very rare.
