I also am questioned what engine do I want for my project. I have been reading up on the so called 87 octane 400 HP+ engines. Hot Rod magizine would not reply to my questions on thier engine, I have not contacted Chevy High Perfomance yet. I have found a lot of information on engine plans but little info on the long term of these engines. I can tell you 30 years ago I had a 292 inline six bored out to the max, full race cam, two fours in the trunk, three dueces I ran most of the time, split headers, truck 3 speed trany. I only used 3 rd and reverse for normal driving. In the early 70's, this was fast in a 50 Chevy Sedan. I do not think it woul be up to par with the technoligy of modern engines, but it sure is fun to open your hood, show a six then put down a 350. This car was driven dailey, gas was cheap, drive on the higway weekly, I10 Houston to Beaumont, engine was like new when I sold the car. Only my son keeps me from building another six.
