Default thinking of going big block

hey guys.
I am thinking of selling all I have sitting in the shed and attempt to shove a big block into (one of my) HQ's.
I was wondering what sort of stuff I should look out for such as:
  • sourcing a big block, where to start looking?
  • cooling, I have heard they like to run hot in Q's, how do I stop that?
  • best accessories, which heads to look out for, manifolds, cam, carb?
  • T350, t400 or t700 which is best?
I am looking at fulfilling a long-term goal and having a car I can drive to the track and roll out 11's all day and drive home, I think this is the best way for me to achieve this. what do you all think?
Thanks
Ash.
