I’d stay with the BB and add a Bravo drive and you’ll be happy for a long time. Replace as much cast iron off the BB with aluminum bits and you should be close to the oem small block.
Caveat: I really know Jack **** of what I’m talking about but that would be my path to explore.

starters are in the same location on a SB and BB, unless a top mount rear CCW starter is used in a trans application

Merc had 330hp BBC in front of Alphas for a couple of years. Late 80s maybe? waiting on the Bravo. A friend had one he bought new that lasted until he decided he wanted to hop it up quite a bit, then it didn't make the next summer.
