340 or 408?

Didn't mean to create this 8 page battle of testosterone , Literally just seeing if 500 hp is realistic in my street car and my options compared to a 360/408. I am looking at the 340 and if it it looks good I'll probably scoop it up. Maybe it's my downfall but again , I'm an old school guy whos ways are out dated but still work and I have a ton of fun driving my car and ripping some gears. Thank you to all who helped me and put their .02 in. Much appreciated!!

Leaning and doing things your way is how we learn. Some guys are happy plopping their money on the counter and picking up an engine and some aren’t. I learned somewhere around 46 years ago I wasn’t and my first 340 ran better than the one by the “mopar specialist”. I gave up on being a so called good driver years ago as my joy is building something then making it faster next time. It doesn’t matter in a street car whether it’s 400 horsepower or 450 if it doesn’t hook on the street. Enjoy your build and go have fun.
