Anything can be a daily driver if its built right and not taken overboard. With gas prices id make it a 306 with just a mild setup for a DD.

Depends on how hard you plan on turning it... It will withstand it, but it depends on how long you are expecting it to last and the amount of rpm's you plan on cranking this thing... Your bottom end is the most important part of your engine, and its even more crucial when you expect to make some power out of it... Save you some money if you have something else to drive and get you an eagle crank or something along those standards, and you will ALWAYS be happy to have that insurance...
