IMHO ...... go with a 427w
Plenty of power and you won't break the bank building one and every pound you can get off the front end will make the car handle better on the track. However none of us will be really racing our cars professionally so build a motor that you can drive at the track occasionally and drive on the street most of the time. Big blocks are really close to the foot boxes and will be much warmer on your feet than a small block. (past experience)
If you have the money to do an aluminum block .... go that route but I prefer a cast Dart block.

They all build 427 ci small blocks or you could just do it yourself .....that's the fun part.
I also didn't mind mine not being authentic ....."they're all fake" ...lol
