CHP or DSS
Guys, I'm a noob at either of these blocks and one day I would like to geta block from them. Which company do you guys prefer? I would like to stick with my TFS heads and Hollysystemax intake. If I do get a new block, would I have to change out my TFS heads?

Ford Racing Performance Parts. Its got 4 bolt main caps. Only bad thing is I dont think a roller cam will work in it. Not necessarily bad, not best case scenario, hydraulic flat tappet cams are cheaper anyway.

Both of those are going to be rebuilt 302s. If you don't have the ability to goto a junkyard and pull a 5.0 and give it to a machine shop to be shortblocked, either of those would be the way to go most likely. Since you got heads and intake already, you want to geta shortblock, which is block, crank, rods, and pistons all assembled together ready for you to slap your stuff on.
The Boss block (Made by FRPP) is like 1000+ not to mention the cost of machining, and then new internals, because it would be useless to put a stock bottom end in a block like that. Sure its badass, but the cost is huge.
