Noel,

If you are interested in drag racing then I would suggest the big block would most likely be your best bet. Especially if you want to drive it on the street. I like road racing and went with the small block stroker for handling, but my big block will walk all over it on a long straight. Can't beat cubic inches in a straight line. You can get gread performance out of a big block withut having to built it out to where it isn't streetable. And remember, these are not real heavy cars either.
The Superformance comes complete except engine and tranny. And I have seen several and they are really very nice. But one thing to remember is that these cars are a maintenance type car and you have to keep on top of stuff.
As for the big blocks, a 427 will set you back a good chunk as they are getting hard to find. A good 428 CJ engine can be fixed up just a little and they will run like mad without a lot of problems. A 390 can be bult to give great performance with little problems just so long as you don't go to wild on everything.
