I have to agree with Duallyjams... build what you want, and tweak it to how you want it.
I wanted a "Sprint" engine for my Tempest, but they are getting harder and harder to find, so I had a stock 230 rebuilt into a Sprint. A $150 engine turned into a $3,000 rebuild. But it was what I wanted, and it will get it's first showing this summer.

Good luck on whatever you decide though, your process is immaculate and no doubt the end result will be well received no matter which path you take!
