Thumbs up engine questions

ok so i got an engine project that im goign to be starting pritty soon. now lets take this into considerations, im 16. this is my first car engine set up.

now i didnt want to build a 1600 engine cuz thats just no fun. i really wanted to build something a lil bigger not a 2000 but something more liek a 1800/1900

i was wondering if i was to put a 72/74 mm crank, with 80-85 mm pistions. with a eagle 110 cam, and stock pushrod lengh. and stock heads machined for the 80-85 pistons. how good do u think this engine would be for the road? im thinkging the cam will need to be different but wuts ur oppinions?

Best bang for your buck would be 1641 or a 1776. Engle 110 cam, new lifters and pushrods. Bigger valve heads to allow it to breath. Progressive 2brl. carb.
Good header system.
