429 vs 514 stroker

so i have a 1970 429, my dilemma is should i just do a stroker 514, or should i just build the 429 up with somewhat aggresive cam, ford racing scj alum heads, headers, rpm performer high rise intake, roller rockers, and any helpful info would be appriciated, i come here over the 460ford forum because yall seem to actually reply more and i appriciate that so thanks in advance.

I think you would be happy with a mildly modded 429. Im sure it will last alot longer than the 514.
