Im looking into a new engine for my 68, it has the original 327 right now.

I would like something pretty aggressive, 450-500+ HP, I was leaning towards a 383. The plan originally was to get the year one 383 Crate engine, but apparently they no longer are affering that engine. So now the question is...
#1 should I go with a 383?
#2 Should I get a crate if so where from? Blueprint, Performance Unlimited? Or find a local engine builder and go through them, Does anyone know of a good Shop in Western Washington State for this?

Jess,
If you are going to go with a crate engine I would get a GM Performance Parts one. You can't beat the quality or the warranty.

Just my opinion,
