I guess it depends on what your budget is. Hope it's big.

Whatever you get make sure you do lots of research and get what you want.

keep track of your budget or you might not have a home to go back to!

plan it all out ahead of time. make sure its all that you want. there is a point of deminishing returns when having a new engine built concerning a money:HP ratio. That said, i recomend a 383 for no matter what you do - N/A or forced induction.

9's and streetable? Hmm... You're definately going to need a power adder of some sort. How much money are you willing to spend here?

If you want to go 9's and still be able to have it streetable, I would probably go for some type of turbo set-up.

9's? wow! good luck trying to keep it a daily driver.......
Ok well what I can recomend is that you look up a member named SleeperZ28, look at his pictures in his links on his sig, here's one- http://www.augsburg.edu/ppages/~chial/index.htm

Although an extreme example, that should give you an idea of what a streetable 9 second car is (also the first that came to mind). prepare to have a damn hard time, along with a BIG chunk of money to say the least.
