SBC 427, more parts/options. Easier to fit in different chassis and it is lighter.
The only company I'm aware of which marketed a 427 motor for commercial vehicles was Mack, who marketed a variant of the E-tech motor, rated at 427 horsepower. The two are as different as night and day. For one, the motor in a dump truck will be a diesel motor, vs. the petrol motor on a Corvette. The Mack Diesel motor displaces around 13 litres, vs. the seven litre displacement of the 427 CUID motor available in the Corvette - and there's your main difference, in that the "427" moniker on the side of a Mack truck indicated horsepower rating, whereas the "427" in reference to the Corvette's petrol motor represents cubic inch displacement.

Depends on what you are doing with it. If higher rpms are a requirement, then the 427, would be your motor. Road racing would be an example of needed higher rpms. The 454 wont rev as high, however, makes much more torque. Drag racing, towing, off road, ect. From the factory, if you compare the two top contenders from each, the ZL1, 427, verses the LS-7, 454, they both made about the same power. I would have to mention that the 454 is making the same power, at a lower rpm. Some would say it is not working as hard, being larger, thus being easier on the motor. But, the arc of the horsepower curve is at its best when rpms are higher, which the 427 is more capable of. The 454 would have the edge, when it comes to stroking a mountain motor out of it. But, there were not many 427's made. Though I love the 427, I would go with the 454, personally. More power, with less effort, means less money. Also, 454 parts are everywhere. 427 stuff interchanges a little bit with 396 stuff, but, not at all with 454, so the parts are harder to find, and more expensive. Also, to make the 427 run, you need the bigger heads. Closed chamber, rectangular port. Try to find a set of those. The 454 will run good with the smaller, open chamber, oval port.

the 427 was the largest engine the mustang was made to fit
No. blocks are not the same.
why a 427?, why not an olds 455?, it will fit but your going to have to change a lot of things like special motor mounts and a different transmission and you will need to get another driveshaft made.
The FE 352 cid ford motor has the same external dimension as all FE motors. Pre-1965 blocks (332, 361, 390, 427) have the same motor mounts. After 1965 engines have a different mounting holes, some machining/drilling would be needed, or custom motor mounts.

I doubt the heavy-duty 427 would work as well as the high-performance 427, because the heavy-duty 427 may be built with heavier materials for reliability, and the high-performance 427 may be built with lighter materials to save weight and increase rev limits.
The positive integer factors of 427 are: 1, 7, 61, 427
I'm not sure what punishment you would get for stealing $427 dolaars, but for $427 dollars in Canada it would be theft under $5000.00, which for a first offence would be probation or a fine. Likely for someone with a previous record something like 30 days or so if a fine/probation was considered to not be adequate.
