What are your planned end use for the car, street cruiser, road racer, ice cream social/cruise nights? How close in appearance do you want the engine compartment to be? Finally, which body style are you planning to get (IE: 427SC, 427 street, 289FIA, slabside)? How you respond to the first one is most like more paramount then the rest, but it does help us formulate a response that may further assist you in making a decision.
