After talking to a couple engine builders about my goals, I was recommend/suggested to go iron block. Goal was 1000 wheel HP, however with the weight and trans-brake setup, they "recommended" iron.
I decide on a budget build 5.3 bored to 5.7 short block by TMS with Callie rods/Diamond pistions, ARP mains. It's been solid to date.
