A truck motor would be more desireable. They have beter rods that i've seen personally go to over 500 horse and turn over 7500 many many many many times. In the pulling truck teams I work with there are several turcks runnin the factory truck rods and having great luck out of them. They are also runnin factory cranks ( not even steel cranks, Just cast ) and turning them to over 8500 most every pass down the track. So really the only money you would be out would be for heads, intake and cam. Or you could buy a factory efi 460 out of a truck. The heads on those motors flow better than any out of hte box aftermarket cast or aluminum head. Now a ported aftermarket head will obviosly flow more but not box stock. Now I bet your wondering about the intake for the efi motored heads.. Ahh Dont fret. Edelbrock makes a carb intake to put onto a motor with those heads PROBLEM SOLVED . that is just my opinion on it all though, you do what you want. I m just trying to let you see its not as costly as most people think. Cheap power is cubic inches plain and simple.
