i doubt that you can do the whole engine for what a nice big cube crate SBC costs... a 595 hp 434 from schafiroff costs 9K, less carb and ignition... and it works and comes with a warranty... i sincerely doubt you can develop a big cupe stock block SBC with matched heads and cam.. that just performs at that level with same durabillity.. for that amount of money.. so i guess you have to decice how badly you want to hide displacement
i mean i installed a set of OLDSMOBILE ROCKET valve covers, welded to sbc rails on a friend of mines 31 ford.. and 1 out of 200 spoted that it was a chevy engine...
if you grind the obvious "Dart" casting off a crate engine, paint it orange and install plain jane tin and perhaps even an aircleaner with a 327 sticker.. no one will notice...
and if yoy cheat at the track.. they will catch you no matter which block you use!
