I guess it depends on what you want and how big your budget for parts is.

On the cheap and basic... find yourself a set of 70' or older closed chamber oval port heads, a decent cam, headers, and all the supporting mods. It will run on pump gas, and pick up plenty of power. George Kettbo <spelling?> Had a similar set up in his 70' El Camino and ran in the 12s. It was a very street-friendly set up. JMHO
