If its power you want then a 350 LS1 or above they have at least 100hp above any old type 350 chev. If its the looks or the braging rights then turbos could be the go. From what I have in my car which is a 350 with the HIGHER COMPRESSION HEADS off a 327 p
If its not broke it will be soon

Current use of world oil is 86million barrels a day. we no nothing but cheap oil in our lives but now we will be faced with expensive scarse oil.

If you really want to know what its going to be like then look at CUBA in there so called special period.
