Regarding small vs. big-block Mopars, consider what the car will be used for. I say go stroker SB due to the front/rear weight bias. Should you decide to take this car out on a track, you wouldn't want it to be nose heavy. In drag racing this is obviously much less of a consideration but around a corner the weight becomes more critical.
An aluminum-headed stroked Mopar SB (or new Hemi 6.1) can easily make big power with boost. Back it with the OD trans you're already planning on and you'll have a well-balanced package.
I'd consult with Dick Landy at DLI or Bob Mazzolini on this one. They could certainly engineer a killer pump gas small-block that'd run where you want it to.
Extra points to ya if you go with the new Hemi...that'd be a killer...!!
