427 ??? why

How about a kit to build a 358 cid GT1 engine

"When the motor was last tuned on a dyno in the 358ci configuration, it produced 640 HP and 490 Ft.Lb. of torque. "

A Forged motor with a Poweradder such as a Turbo setup is the way to go but a Procharger (alot cheaper ) with a Stock Bottom End is also a cheaper Route ....I myself would go with a Lingenfelter Twin Turbo setup.
