I had Bill build me a 427 Side Oiler, Reed Cam, solid lifter engine with single quad.
It's a stock bore Ford block with orignal forged TRW pistons, cut down so with the Edelbrock Aluminum Heads it's about a 9.8 -10.0 to 1 compression engine. Original steel crank, with Lemans rods. Has a complete billet valve train.
Built in 2002, it's been a very good engine with no issues. I would go that route again, no regrets.
Main thing, have a good idea of what you want in an engine a be honest with yourself on why you need it built that way. Then sit down and go over your engine with the builder and make sure everyone is on the same page.
Enjoy your build.
