Post Which 351W?

Guys;
I have been shopping for a 351W to turn into a 427W for my build. Can anyone offer any advice as to which year engine is better ala Virginia registration? Also, after calling around the area I find that most of the engines for sale come out of trucks. Good or bad? I'm going with a roller cam. Should I look for a block that had a factory roller and upgrade, or should I retro-fit with a Crane or Comp? And, last but not least, can anyone reccommend a good, well equiped high performance machine shop in the Hampton Roads area? Thanks in advance, guys. If I can make it again this year I hope to meet a few of you in Carlisle.
