Here's the info on the engine

CHEV 350/440HP Hi Performance Balanced Engine
With Pro Lightning Heads
1968-1985
This engine would be EXCELLENT for a Street/Strip car, Street Rod, or Pickup Truck. With 440HP @ 5900rpm and 450ft lbs of torque @ 4400rpm this engine has a rough idle and will run on leaded or unleaded 91 Octane pump fuel.

The balanced rotating assembly (typically includes crankshaft, pistons, rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and balancer) featured in this engine:

3.484" stroke steel crank
5.7" forged big beam rods with ARP rod bolts
Hypereutectic flat top pistons at 10.0 to 1 compression
More special features of this engine include:

Seasoned 4-bolt main block
Hydraulic flat tappet cam with .512" valve lift
Pro Lightning 64cc heart-shaped chamber, 220cc intake runners, angle plug heads with 2.02"Int/1.600"Exh swirl polished stainless valves with undercut stems for even more flow
1.440" High performance springs set up to match cam
Chrome moly retainers and hardened keepers
Bronze valve guides
Extra thick deck surface
Hardened exhaust seats for use with both leaded or unleaded fuels
Screw-in rocker studs with guide plates
Hardened push rods
Roller rocker arms
Double row timing set
High volume oil pump with welded big pickup screen and steel drive shaft and steel guide
Revolutionary 1-pc design molded rubber oil pan gasket with load limiters to prevent over-tightening and higher temperature resistance than standard cork-rubber gaskets
Brass expansion plugs
Edelbrock Victor Jr aluminum intake manifold

I'm looking to build a race car, but I also want to show it off... it's like a 50/50 thing, half each way. I want it to look nice enough that it'll make all cars around me look like ****, even vettes and cobras and then if I raced such cars beat them w/o a sweat even decently hooked up versions. The most money I'm willing to spend is 20k. I just want to build the best car I can for that money.
