I am having seconds thoughts about building a 454 for my truck, not enough high rpm capability. I want something that will pull you back in to the seat when u floor it and pull hard to about 6500. Heres some options i have been thinkin about.

377 small block
383 small block
454 big block (original plan)

The tranny will be a muncie 4 speed, probably fairly high diff like 3.23 or 3.42, like i said before i want my power between 1750ish to 6 or 6500 rpm really opening up at like 3500. So whats everyone opinion????
