454, definitely do the manual, 5spd od if you can. It really makes it a driver you can spend the day in and not spend your retirement money on gas.

Big block, 4-speed, try to get your hands on an overdrive manual transmission.
Keep the shiny side up!

454 with 4-speed.
5-speed if you are in to highway cruising.
No need for a 6-speed on a bigblock.

In an ideal world, both. The 454 for in town cruising, the 350 for weekend roadtrip adventures.

Easy. Nothing in the world is more fun on a Saturday night then a big block. It promises you and delivers, good times and strange women.
But, for that 2000 mile roadtrip to the Keys, with gas prices, I gotta compromise.
