Bracket engine, what would you build and why?

There's a lot of "ink" that you should go big, 500+ inches. While there are good points to that, (especially if you're starting with nothing) sometimes we lose sight of SIMPLE and CHEAP, right? One of the best bracket combos I ever had and would repeat run after run...it was DEADLY consistent and made over 300 runs before I sold the car. All it needed was a driver...LOL.

.030 over 440
OE crank
prepped LY rods (gasp!)

906 heads, 2.14/1.81 ported. Flowed mid 260's on Holton's bench
MP M1 single plane 4150 intake

10.40's @ 127 almost everywhere we took it at sea level. Best of 10.38 @ 128 on a cool July morning at Somona. High 10.90's at Fallon one fall I drug it up there.
