What do you want out of it? 100% originality when at cruises and shows, if so FE is the only way. Do you want to do some racing, a really hot small block is hard to beat. Do you just the fastest car that you and all your friends have ever rode in? Than an FE, SB or 460 based BB could do it.

I would put an FE in, but I would be forced to start with a shelby or kirkham to stay with the all original theme.

If it were an ERA, SPF, ETC, than a stroked small block making 500hp is where I would go.
