The Dart block you showed is a good piece of Iron. I would go with the 9.5 inch deck height and special order everything to go with it.
I don't remember the part number but I think DART makes a 351 based small block 9.5 that with the proper bore and stroke you can pull 460 CI out of it. You may even want to go with the aluminum block.
900 to 1000 HP is some serious sxoxq@t.
The chassis, suspension, drive line rear end and basicly everything else is going to have to be built like a tank.
A 1000 HP motor in a stock chassis will twist the frame into a pretzel if the drive line and the rearend can handle the torque.
If you are building a 900 to a 1000 HP motor and the only thing you've done is take apart your 302, I think you need to have a shop build the whole thing and Mabeeee you put it in.
The other aspect of this type of project is CASH!! How much of it do you have?
I hope you have some deep pockets.
1000 HP is going to cost you $20k to $25K minimum. Then the body, chassis suspension and driveline are all going to have to be built to handle that much HP. That's another $25k at least.
Now you can go the cheap route and not do it the right way. It will last for a couple months and you will break a bunch of stuff and it will sit in your garage for awhile.
If you have the money to build that kind of car, and you don't have a lot of experience doing it, my suggestion is find you a serious performance shop and have them build the whole car from top to bottom.
What you are talking about is some major work.
That doesn't come cheap!!
The best of luck!!!
