why not a SB 427?
I have an all-aluminum 427 Windsor stroker kickin out 612 hp and 615 lb-ft of torque... with a total vehicle weight of 2240 lbs. It's a hoot. Don't expect great mileage tho... and I wouldn't use it as a primary consideration when looking at a car like this- you get what you get. I typically average about 10 mpg going easy on the LOUD pedal... whatever.
If you want mileage, go with a modular 4.6L, 32 valve & maybe put a power adder (blower) on it. Entertaining, streetable, & efficient. (sounds really good too)
