Is that an FE 427 or a stroked Windsor 427? It sounds like maybe your kickdown rod is bent a little out of correct shape? Just work the throttle by hand at the carb and adjust the screw out until the kickdown arm/rod to the transmission doesn't move until about 1/2-3/4 throttle. Good place to start.
