Looking for 360 in Southern CA

What do you mean "stupid about somewhat complete engines here"?
Also I'm leaning towards the 727 as that's what I'm familiar with (at least on the big block side of things) and I have many friends that have run both a 904 and a 727 and prefer the 727, it's been recommended to me more, about a 9-1 ratio on recommendations. Any suggestions as to why I wouldn't want a 727 behind a small block?
I'm very new to the small block game. It's only been big blocks and slant 6's for me. Never turned a wrench on a small block save for jump starting a friend's car, but that doesn't count as working on one.
