CamaroRS1967, let me get this straight:

you want a beefier engine, but dont want to go to a big block

BUT, you also dont want a 350.

what am I missing here?

why dont you want a 350? I can understand not wanting the 383 stroker, but a 350 is a very good engine to start with. they are plentiful and relatively inexpensive. they are about the easiest to work on and have the largest aftermarket supply of parts of any engine ever made, as well as a near infinite level of support/help from the millions of gearheads around the world. anything you might want to do to a 350 has likely already been tried and perfected. and with the help of the internet, you can find out whats the best setup for you needs before you ever spend a dime.

Plus they can be modded to no end. I saw a guy on tv once with a 350 that was modded to produce 1500hp, he was racing (and beating) big blocks on the strip circuit.

sounds like exactly what you want: an inexpensive. easily modded engine that can produce lots of HP.
