A 72? If you are going to be that specific, at least pick something with smaller dish pistons and smaller combustion chambers.
Almost any 350 will do you great....or 403.

The 350's past 76 (I think it's 76 and up) are not as strong, block wise. In the late 70's they started using "webbing" to make the blocks
1968 to 1972 blocks are great for a build up, but the best combo is the 1972 block with the 7A heads. That's if your going to build it up, if just for a daily driver that will see very little track time, any Olds 350 will do
