Niether can get you to 7000 keeping it streetable. A 350 is good to around 6000 with a smooth idle, and not too much matenance. You don't need a four bolt either. You'll do just fine with a two bolt. In fact, you won't even be able to tell the difference. You won't be putting enough power out to twist the two bolt.
