    I guess my first question is how you plan on using it ? If you plan on making it a driver than I would build a nice streetable small block. If you are building a show or an all out beast than there is nothing like a big block.I think your plans on it's use ,will dictate which motor to use.

    A good thing about the 383, ya wouldnt have to do much more than a mild cam and a set of headers to make that Van talk.

    Well if it's going to be a "Show-Truck" then it really doesn't matter what you put in it. Everything you listed will work as long as it's solid and clean. king queen
