Only a big block Chevy can rival the Ford 385 series engine for cheap power. The 429 / 460 Ford 385 series engine produces prodigious amounts of power very cheaply. You can argue "best" engine until you're blue in the face, but HP per dollar, you just can't beat the big block Chevy, and if you need to stick with a Ford it's the 385 series engine - nothing else, DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR even comes close.
