If torque is what you're aiming for, then cubic inches are your friend.

As Patrick has said - they all look much the same on the outside bar the dress up bits.
You could approach this in a couple of ways, $$$ dependent.

If you want it done on a budget a 390 block with a 4.25 crank (445 cubes) will do it for you nicely. Match the heads, intake and cam accordingly.

OR

If you'd prefer a hamburger with the lot.
Then go an alu Pond/shelby block with the larger bore and stroke it out to 482cubes or more.

I'm guessing that a LR intake may choke up your engine either way.
If you are opting for a hood scoop anyway, is there any reason you wouldn't go a MR intake?

Kind regards,
