Rickyd. a fuel cell is safer and cheaper to do now, something to consider. re engines, easier and cheaper to get more power now than later, so carefully think about your choice(s). Crates are a good and most often more economical choice vs a custom build, and better now to go for as much hp as you can afford. Harder and more expensive to do it later. You dont have to use all the power if ya dont want to. Once ya get used to these the urge for more hp can bite ya pretty hard. a 392 stroker is a good value for 430hp and 450 # trq. a variety of different hp 460 crates are available as well as 514s. If ya want to pay more, then a 427 fe or for usually less a 428 fe. custom vs crate ? depends on who ya talk to. like car brand preference, everyone has their favorites and will support their choice to the end, however, less engine bias than car brand bias. but like car brand debates, the battle of sb/bb or stroker motors will live on forever. enjoy your new car, and take your time getting used to it no matter what engine ya get. bill.
