427 short strock will be a good power spot im sure.

I agree with your thinking 110% leaving no room for rebuilds on a 2000 dollar block, not so smart. it's one thing to do that on a 950 dollar block that is readily available, but to do it on a not so easy block to get... bad bad idea.
But, seeing as you're starting from scratch with everything, I'd have gone with a 4.25 stroke and a 4.125 bore, and get some more out of it.. the parts wouldn't have cost any more to get for that then they did for a 427.
Doesn't matter though, you shoudl be able to make at least 500 rwhp with a 427 nitrous motor with a motor tune in it... which in your car should be about enough to run the 9.5 index.
