If you are new to the hobby or starting with a clean slate the bang per buck to go gen III is all there. If you are starting clean it would be smarter to go EFI with a new hemi anyways. You get your fuel system AND ignition system handled in one setup. You can even say that for a old engine platform also.

When you are and ol mopar guy and you have a shed full of parts it makes sense to stay small block.

HotRodDave, you don't happen to have a good 6.4 crank for sale do you?
