try2bfast,

In order to make recommendations it is important that we know more about the car this motor will go in and and how you plan to use it. How much does the car weigh? Is it automatic or manual? 3 spd, 4 spd, Overdrive or 5 speed? Is it a street machine, race car or street strip? How big a tire can you get under it? There will be other considerations to such as what gear ratio to use and if it is automatic what stall for the converter.

What works well for a 2800 pound car would be a real dog in 4000 pound car. If you are going to drive it on the street a motor that makes all it's power above 4500 RPM is not going to work well.

Be realistic and honest in your answers so folks can make good suggestions.
