Define inexpensive .
I think the question we're all wanting to know is how $$$ do you have to spend? I agree if wanting to make 400 rwhp I would use the 67 block. That engine will have more compression than a mid 70s MH engine right off the start plus if has the 516 heads they should offer more cc over the open chamber 452 castings.

I would like to spend less that $2500 if possible. I'm not too worried about factory compression I'll be buying new pistons anyway I'm sure The block will need bored . The thin motor mount ears on the 67 block concern me (What does it take to break them ?)The 67 motor with the forged crank is probably my best choice other than the ear thing. What rods will the 67 motor have ( good ones or bad ones? )will the motor home rods be better?
With this in mind use one of the later blocks , though the concerns you have about the 67 block are not really that big a deal and they awill all more than likely have LY rods which are not bad for your HP level wanted.
I would use the closed chamber heads though if they are 915's, but given your location I think you might be hard pressed to do it for that budget with new pistons and boring it.

1971 or 1972 Factory Stock Recipe. Period. They run great on regular gas and they have power! My 69,000 all original 71 383 Superbee runs like a bat out of (meatloaf)! Smokes the tires with ease. All stock drive train. I have an 88,000 mile 440 from a 72 Imperial in my 84 crew cab dually with a cap and it smokes the tires with ease and runs great with its 4:10's and auto. Mother Mopar already figured it all out if you want your ride to be low maintenance and fun. All the money you pour into making it "fast" for the street is mostly realized when your fast car is beaten by the next guy. Its about having a nice ride with some power for fun - not about having the fastest. My says build something affordable that you can enjoy. Cheers!

Huh ??
The torker is the wrong intake choice , dual plane or a Holley street Dominator if you must have a single plane. .
, Another good choice would be an M1 single.
