I vote for LS3 416 since you going N/A and you can go with a shot of NOS if you want. What you planning to put either motor in?

My vote would be the 6.0 iron block. I don't think the Ls3 is worth the extra money. Plus the iron block is cheaper and easier to find.

I would go LS3 416 because of the larger bore. It will allow you to run a small bore LS7 head, which would work really well for a drag car.

I would go with the LS3 N/A and the Iron Block if You were going Forced Induction.
