351w

With the low price of stroker kits, and the huge selection of heads, you can build a 351 and make gobs of power with alot less weight and for less money than a big block, with big block cubes if you want. MM&FF magazine made 537HP @ 5900RPM by taking a FRPP crate 392 short block and adding a set of good heads.
You can take the extra money you would spend on the conversion to a big block and stick it into the engine itself.
Only if weight and money are not an issue should you look at the big block option.
I don't think that you can beat the looks and uniqueness of an FE.
460 based engines will make more power for less money than an FE, but they are heavier yet.
