If you are planning on it being a track car - go with a small block (they make a 460 small block crate motor) - if it's going to be used primarily for street driving and shows, Big Block is the way to go. I'm all about the crate motors as they come with warranties and mine has been a gem. 28,000 miles of abuse (street, road course, and drag racing) and it's still as strong as ever.
How does that crate motor sound? I want one with a nice thump. I'm going from a twin turbo small block that I could hardly hear. I want that old muscle car sound back...
