Really, you are willing to eliminate that many combos.

I am building a 67/68 cuda right now and to answer your question I bought two 340 dealer replacement blocks and have them sleeved down to a 318 bore. I plan on doing my own short block and have shane studley do my heads.

And I have heard that aftermarket blocks get a hell a lot more hp than 5.
