just curious

if you guys were building a engine for hi-po usage on the street would you
1. use an older style block 86 or older.
2 a newer block to have the use of the roller block.

im looking to build a 355 with about 400-500 hp n/a if anyone knows of a good combo that would get me in that range please post the combo.
thanx in advance thomas.
p.s. already working on sfc's, homemade wonder bar, considering rollcage.
