Default FE vs Roush vs Blueprint

Need guidance from my Cobra gang.

I currently own a RT4 BDR with 427 Iconic motor with less then 600 miles on it. So far, I like the motor and the car. I'm now looking to add to my stable, a SFP S/C that has a Ford 450CI 437 HP FE Motor. I'm not a gear head and have no idea about what's a good, dependable, "not to worry" about engine that would not need a lot of TLC.

The SFP car will see no track time, but will be a weekend driver, to club events, car shows, etc...I want it to look and SOUND tough. I like the idea of a "big block", just so it fills the engine compartment but not at the expense of needing higher maintenance. Small block is fine as well.

Bottomline, is a Ford 450CI 437 HP FE Motor a good dependable motor that will need no special attention. Engine built by Southern Auto.

Thanks in advantage for sharing your years of experience.
