Thanks for all the advice guys, time to crunch some numbers and stats and see what I come up with.

I have a 400 block from a '68 gto but it needs to be bored .040, I am not sure if it is a good candidate for a build like this though because of the bore and my plan to throw on aluminum heads...etc, I think the CR might be too high.

Should I find a standard bore block?
These three books should be enough to get you where you would like to go:
