The high command (the wife) has finally succumbed to the constant nagging from my daughter, myself and grandpa (in that order) to allow us to undertake a 3-generation family build of a FF MKIII Roadster for street use (target: low to mid 400's HP, and about 450 torque, no drag, and only very seldom track usage).

As others and Barry R. have said, the 390 is the way to go, you can build a nice looking 390 to meet and exceeds your hp/tq. requirements for the price of a 427 block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can also build a nice small block, stroked or otherwise and add the pentroof FE looking valve covers and 99.99346712% of the people looking at it in a Cobra would think it is an FE motor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
