408 because the block is stronger and then you could always spray it

331 turbo I'd definately build off an aftermarket block, the advantages are high power for the displacement, so the mileage will be better than a larger engine. The 408 would be a cheaper build and could be done off a stock 351 block. A much simpler setup, and I like all motor as well, with maybe some nitrous for the track just for fun.

If you go with an 8.2 deck there is no reason no to go with 347.
