Well they are both very good engines but I'd have to say the 427 has the edge over the 428. Larger bore, crossbolted mains, larger block oil passages etc.... Most run a toploader tranny for a 4 speed. They are far more durable than the older T-10's. G. |

For a street application, the 428 would be more ideal with it's longer stroke and small bore thus having "more seat in the pants" or torque at the lower commonly driven rpms. If you'd like the best of all worlds, use the 427 block with its larger bore in conjuction with the longer stroke 428 crankshaft for an easily built stroker.
