350 or 400 if you dont bore the 400 too much. They(400) tend to overheat when bored .060. 383 if you dont mind a little machine work. I wouldnt use a 307 because none of the 307 blocks had much nickel and they wear out fast. Look for a 350 truck block with 4 bolt mains and high nickel content. Thats what i use. 454 is next to go in my C10. Of course its not a daily driver.
