Rainmaker,
See where this is going? There is no right answer, as a lot depends on what you want to use the car for. Do you want a high "WOW" factor when you pull into a parking lot? You could have that with just about any motor. How about maximum "WOW" factor when you pull into a parking lot full of Cobras? That's possible, but you'll have a car you may not want to drive all day. Do you want to drag race? Road race? Take on weekend or longer trips? What's it worth to you to be able to get at stuff on the motor when you work on your car? How important is it to you to be able to go a couple hundred miles between fill-ups? Any motor will give you a fun car, but if you plan your car carefully, you can end up making as few sacrifices as possible.
All this stuff has been covered ad infinitum in previous posts. If you "search CC" under "big block", "small block" "best" "gas mileage" "horsepower", you'll begin to get a feel for how to find more of the information you're looking for.
Here's another hint: Take a look on Cobracountry at the used cars. See what car/motor combinations are for sale and how many miles they have on them.
