It depends what you wanna do with it.
for me i'd go with the 408 ,you can start with 6.0 iron block and get Eagle stroker 4"stroke 4.030 bore for 2k$ .
thats alot of TQ and alot of fun to drive.
also if you wanna upgrade later you already have a good starting motor.(what about some spray or little boost) .
