There are many ways you can go with this. What year is the block? If it is a 1994 or newer its a roller block, which is the best in my opinion (early 70's are the best for strength)
I am very partial to a 408 stroker (see my sig) You will need to upgrade the tranny and rear end to support the power, upgrade the suspension to get it to hook, add subframe connectors to keep it together, etc...
Biggest thing is have fun with it and drive it like you stole it!!

Need more info. What is your intentions with the car? Road race? Street? Street/Strip? Strip only?

Hard to give suggestions if there is little info on your goals. Plus, if street or street/strip what are your ET goals and do you want to do this on engine or with a power adder(nitrous, super charger, turbo)

X2 on more info needed. I am building my car for 1/4 mile racing so everything is set up for drag racing. If you want to roadrace, that would be a different set up.
