Should be a GREAT combination and trust me you rather have the 408 than the 427! Good luck

Doubt it..

i just went through the same thing as him.. i did my research and found what i thought was the BEST builder in cost and quality...which is VERY hard to detimine when using both cost and quality as a determining factor.. just when you think you have the price you want, ... everything starts adding up on you with out realizing it.. i thought i was only going to spent 10k on my 408 stroker.. but when you add in he cost to get the K member, A Arms, Headers, Exhaust, UBELEIVABLE amount of different ARP bolts ( crank bolt it 40 ******* bucks) Intake, Throttle Body, Injectors, Motor mounts, tranny mounts, Oils and other lubricants...it REALLY starts to add up... NOW, add all that to the base cost of a 427.. and you have just spent a small foutune...

This motor sounds capable of putting down numbers deep into the 500+ RWHP range. Even with the extra cubes the ls7 is still a far way off from that kind of power. Plus this is built for spray.
