once again, for continuous WOT operation.

Dollar per dollar, a 402 or 454 would be a better place to spend your money. The 402 crank combined with the 454 block gives you a standard deck height 427. Just make sure and have it balanced as the 402 crank counterweights are designed for the lighter 402 piston.
Maybe I'm missing something, but what does WOT stand for?

Also, thanks for the info on making my own 427 w/ 402 and 454 parts, but 454's are almost nonexistent around here. If my engine ever goes out, I would like a cheap replacement. I suppose I could do a Caddy BB, but they seem to be all the rage now. Also, thanks for the replies.
