Stocker engine choice - Page 3

I'm in the process of building a stocker from a 71 Caprice.This car came with the 400 SB. Natural class would be O/SA. The Since the Caprice came with the 400sb,402bb,and the 454.I like all the choices but the 402. Next question is, the Impala came with the 350 which would give it the Hp break and put it in I believe QorR/SA which puts it with the 95 era 350lt Caprice.which is about .5 difference on the index.and I dont see it running with the fi cars.I dont expect to tear the index but would at least like to be -.5 under.This car has been a very winning bracket car but with a 383 in it.I've race Stock for years back in the 80s and like the odd ball stuff.Give me a little input on which combo you would start with and why.Thanks Dave
