There's no perfect answer to this question. But, I think the best bang for the buck for a street car will come from a well built 408W. When you start comparing other engines, you won't see the same $/hp numbers.
No matter what engine you choose, be vary careful about who built it, and what components they use. Companies like Fortes Parts and Lykins Motorsports have had an excellent reputation for many years.
Other companies, not so much. They use cheap parts - like Pro-Comp. Or use mismatched parts. Their assembly techniques are not that good. And/or, their after sales support stinks.
As you're looking at the engine, as where it came from, and then do your research on that particular company or builder. Also, ask exactly what components were used, and research those particular components.
