Downsides of a 427 build?
I'm looking over fordstrokers.com and I'm gettin a chubby thinkin about puttin a 427 small block in my 2800 pound car.
Whats the possible downside of having a 4.170 stroke? Lookin at nearly 11:1 compression too...

The only down side I see is too much tire spin(haha)
11-1 compression is doable with the right camshaft,but will be touchy if you let the car sit for a little while, the fuel you have in there will lose octane, then if you take it out and floor it before you add new fuel, it will surely detonate.
What heads do you have, you can open up the chamber and lower the compression.Also to get the most out it you should use a large runner head like a 225 AFR you can get a 76cc chamber lowering the compression.
