personally id opt for the 582 with the aluminum block option http://www.ultrastreet.net/582_classic.asp that is 14500 bucksand it churns out 745 Hp on 92octane ánd comes with a 2 year warranty

The big blocks that i've been in aren't really the most driveable cars, generally require a lot more maintanence than a small block equivalent, and i assume are a lot heavier... so i think i'm probably going to stray away from one of those.

and i dont really plan on buying a full on, runs out of the box, crate motor. i would prefer building the motor up slowly myself, as i DO have a budget. but either way, i'm willing to pay money for something thats worth it... just not all at once

that being said, that shafiroff big block is seriously impressive.
