I agree with everything 767Jockey says. If you happen to stumble across a really nice 428 block, then by all means pick it up. Otherwise, a 390 is just as good in every way. There is one small advantage to using a "vintage" block instead of a new one. In some states, emissions are based on the year of the block. Some engine builders also prefer the older iron blocks as well, but that's another thread....
