Which route should i go for a motor???

Well i am looking around at a few different routes of what i want to do with my truck.... I am stuck with a 454 from the family boat when one of the two blow and we swap in our 468s, (i have already thought of trying to drop one o the 468s in and that doesnt go over well at the dinner table with the ol man)

Or

Find another sbc and building a high rpm 383 over time and throwing a 700r behind it

or

Find a LT1 with a 700r or a t56 if i could get lucky enough. I used to mess big with LT1s i had a solid 385 that pulled my camaro down the track in low 11s and that was less then 3500 in the build, but i had the motor.




I am looking at this towards a winter project or prepping a motor and piecing things together, depending on how things go in my life over the next month or two i will either have a ton of money to start dropping into it or i wont. But right now i am just looking for some advice. It will be considered a budget build and all, but im not sure whether to go BBC, SBC or LT. its a little more driven then a weekend warrior
