I would have a LT1 Big cube with some seriously flowing heads. All forged with a heavy shot of spray. not even a LS1 would stand a chance. It would be a good run. You cannot beat the torque of an LT1. After all is put together, a nice big turbo to seal the deal and make a Supra or a Stage 3 Head and Cam LS1 say WTF! Total price? Well I am doing all of this for under 10G's. Why spend 8 When you can get more fore your money. Dum As.....

Well if you want torque, nothing can beat the TPI then. Heck, the Callaway TT TPI motors made 575ft/lbs but only 403hp heh. I suppose go ***** out like they did on Pimp My Ride (yes, shut up wait...) They stuffed a SINGLE Turbo Duramax into a 65 Chevelle, running on Bio Diesel, tuned up with a bigger turbo made 800hp and 1440ft/lbs. Roasted a Lambo in the 1/4. Oh, and it was Cali emissions legal to boot.
