Hi,
I think HP per dollar needs more thoughts. How many HP do you want and what is your budget?
That said a inexpensive HP combo would be a 460 with a nice cam intake a CJ heads or a 390-428 stock rebuild.
Spend more money and I'd build a 427" Dart block based Windsor. Less money would be a stock block 351/408 combo. Remember the power is in the heads, cam & intake.
Enjoy the build,
