there are lots of 396s that make less power than 454s, way less
my chevelle had a 325hp (oval port head) 396. not that great, worst BBC cam in a factory engine EVER. 375hp 396 is a lot better though

HP TV did a 427 small block that made 700ish hp? around that torque on pump gas.
they also did a huge 456 or somethnig dont know exact CID but it made 760ish hp on pump gas.
but the best street small block (affordable) IMO is 400 sbc.
more cubes is always better
