I would think with a 427 you could run afr 205s and have a very streetable engine. You could probably run 225's no problem. Your gonna need to bring a lot of air and fuel to fill those cylinders. With edelbrock you should check out there victor jr's. I think they would be perfect as well. I know I probably shouldn't suggest this but corral forums 5.0 and 5.8 forum has a lot of guys running 427 windsors. You might want to get some advice from them.

You need to figure out what exactly you are trying to accomplish with the engine.....high rpm power, around town grunt, etc. What is the comp ratio, cam size. For out of the box heads, I like the AFR's allot. They have good mid-lift numbers. The 427 would be better off with the 205's, but again it comes back to the comp. ratio and size of cam. As far as the c.c. (combustion chamber) size, the larger the number the less compression. Example...
58cc head= 10 to 1 61cc head= 9.6 to 1 Example. I hope that helps a little.
