How fast are you wanting to go is the question along with how much you want to spend? I would get a 6 speed if i was you cuz you never want to have to use od if you decide to race.

its not really a question of how fast i wanna go. I just want a car that is very streetable, eat most things on the street, and will look sexy doing it. I honest wanna make about 400 to 450 on motor.

If you are set on building a motor and then adding boost later let me tell you from experience, do an R block or dart block now (or a stroked 9.5 block). I built my 347 with plans to stay N/A or possibly add a small shot of spray, but the boost bug bit and now I have a blower. Now I'm at the limit of the block with tons of potential left. On the first pull with a moderately-sized pulley, it made 554/604 (amazingly the block did not split), so a ton of timing has been taken out up top to keep it alive. I don't want to spend even more money at this point to get a better block, but we all know how this game goes... eventually I'll have an engine hoist and my motor will be hanging from it...

400-450 na is not going to be a streetable motor,if you only want 400-450 add your heads and intake and a sc of your choice.

I think that is a dream many people have, lol.

A dart block is basically a super strong block. You can throw just about anything you want at it and it'll live (barring mechanical failures). Much thicker cylinder walls, 4 bolt mains, etc...

400-450 na is not going to be a streetable motor,if you only want 400-450 add your heads and intake and a sc of your choice.

This is true. My combo made 342/408 N/A and I wouldn't want to drive anything on the street that made 400-450 N/A. Make up the difference with a small shot of juice until you can afford to boost it and have a much more enjoyable car to drive instead.

Tony you are sumthin..

A dart block is a billet aluminum block. it can handle about 800-1200 hp, where the normal 302 block is pushing it around 600ish. I would like this block just because your pretty much set and dont have to worry about splitting a block. My old 91 couple had a D1 procharger on it with a 69 windsor in it making 800 hp.
