I second the '71-'74 truck blocks. They are the best foundation for a 390, 406, 410 (428 crank), or to bore to 428 (428 crank). The rest is up to you. Edelbrock makes a pretty good package. Make sure that you get some advice or do some reading about the oiling. I't's still hard to beat the Southern Automotive deal if you add up all the costs of doing it yourself. Also, you might want to get the back issues of Street Rodder magazine. They did a very in depth series on this motor - about 10-12 issues.
