-> What car(s) do you own?
I own a '54 Ford F-100.  It's got a '77 Firebird Front clip (I bought it
with that).  A Chevy 350, 350 horse 350 cam, Weiand stealth intake,
750cfm Holley, Fluidampr, backed up by a 700R4.  It is still definitly
under construction, but I can drive it, and have driven it to class at
the local JC.  As for the size motor, if you want something big, go with
the 440.  They are relatively cheap to build (for a big block), and have
all the torque you could ever want in a street car.
