you can use the other stock parts. it would be recommended to upgrade your intake, oil pump, cam, heads (& lifters, springs, valves) and the whole exhaust system

You should defintely buy some new heads and cam. A 427ci requires a LOT of air to get out decent power. There is no point in getting a big cube motor and not having enough head, cam, and intake to feed it.
