Well that sounds like fun. What block are you going to start with? I would suggest a 350. It's a great 1/4 mile engine because of the torque its capible of producing. I think No2 is a bad idea, its made for tiny dinky motors that can't otherwise go up a hill. Please don't. And plus you could have bragging rights of calling your small block "all motor". However if you want it to have extra supported power, then I suggest something along the lines of a 6-71, 7-71 type blower.

the only things you can do with a 327 is bore out to a 350 more power for less $$$$$
