My choice is a 428. Easy to find blocks (comparatively), will give easy 400-450 hp without stress, run on pump gas with Edelbrock heads and 10.5 cr.

I am going with 2x4 carb setup for the looks but a single 4 makes more sense for tuning purposes. I don't plan to put more than $3500 into it to get what I need.

You can do the same thing with a 390 but the hp will be down a little of course. a 427 will double that cost plus.
