Only problem is that it's not a 427, it's a 428. Actual displacement is 427.6, GM Advertizing rounded down to get the 427, didn't want to call it the 428 since the 428 was a popular Ford motor.

Actual displacement according to C&D is 427.7, thank you for enlightening us. This info would have been a great thread starter, not sure why the OP did, does it have a new home in his garage? If so congrats are in order!

Ford had a 427(Side Oiler), a 428(Cobra Jet) and a 429.

The old Chevy 427 was a great motor, the new 428 has nothing in common with the old 427. Different block dimensions, different bore centers, different bore and different stroke.
