Default Strongest 355 Build?

If there were no regards to money what would be the strongest 355 build. Which pistons, crank, connecting rods, etc. would be used?

It depends if you planning N/A or F/I.

For N/A I would look into light weight components. Expect to pay big bucks.

they arent cheap at all...but they will handle serious power. for the money..you'd probably be better off going to a 383. parts cost wouldnt be a whole lot different. just my $.02

I would say if money wasn't an issue a 383 or 396 or hell a 409 LT1 would be in the works for a little more money.
As far as parts....Either a Callies or Lunati rotating assembly
srp, JE, Diamond, and wieseco pistons
Rods....Eagle, Manley, Scat, Lunati, Oliver, Etc...
Ported AFR Heads
Nice Cam to match
As well as a car thats properly setup to hold the power from the engine.... MY .02
