Well, to go to back to my original thinking on this (I was the thread starter, for those of you who have forgotten by now -- I almost did... ), I was thinking specifically 427 cu in vs. 427 cu in. So I guess it was a little of an apples to oranges comparison from the stroker/non-stroker point of view, but I specifically was thinking "427". Obviously I was also thinking of the "cachet" associated with those magic # of cubic inches... ("Yeah, it's a 427..."

Sounds like you can get PLENTY of power from either, with a slight nod to the FE. The FE is arguably "cooler" too -- more distinctive, etc. And if you have the dough, you can say you really have a side oiler.

I still believe in the sound-is-affected-by-bore theory I have stated before, and I know there are others out there who agree with me.
