Welcome Anthony.

Good name by the way.

There are NO right answers to this but if it were me in a BDR I'd go either a 427 if I wanted a carb, or Coyote in I wanted EFI.

Logic here is:

If you wanted to go modern, then go all the way, and that's the coyote.
Feel free to even strap on a SC if you can fit it under the hood scoop.
It may even give the hood scoop some functionality.

If you want OLD school then I'd go for a SBF without EFI.
That way you can still get yourself out of a fix with a basic screw driver.

On a BDR I'd personally stop short on an FE, only because ROI would out-rule this for me.


Just my 2 cents.

Kind regards,
Anthony
