Well, I finally got my 427 back home. I can't wait to get this thing back together and breathing fire. The block is .070 over with KB forged pistons, factory forged crank, and Scat rods:

The haeds are one 049 and one 781 matched to each other. They were shaved to 118cc chambers and fitted with 2.19/1.88 stainless valves. They have K-motion K-800 springs and Comp Cams 10 degree retainers and locks:

Although these may get sold and replaced with a set of RHS 320cc heads.
These are the shops valve covers. They're fully engraved, not just stenciled, and they fit very well. Thick cast/polished aluminum for no leaks:
