5.0.......if you are working on a tight budget ,then build your own motor, you can do all the short block stuff first,then do the heads ,then do the assembly and add all the cool stuff ( chrome and billit) later.As a owner of a FE powered replica i can tell you that a 351w powered car can be a lot of fun to drive and you can get into trouble(speeding,burning rubber)very easily,an FE powered car has the look and sound of the 427s and can be a brute at times the 460 powered cars are for those people with no fear those cars are FAST....I would suggest a healthy 351w and a 5 speed for your first car and work your way up from there.
