If the 427 is going to be real, consider supporting mods that you can keep - rear end, suspension, large tube headers ......

You could pick up the cheap LS2, add a 408 rotating assembly, have the heads ported by AI, add a large cam and be in the 500 rwhp range for a lot less money.
I have a LS2 403ci and I'm around 550rwhp N/A and ima tell you it wasn't cheap.. I also put full suspension and a built th350, full new exhaust system, fuel system, etc.. Yea it was costly.. lol
