The original question was:
“ Should a block for a street car be relieved 286 ci”.

This can NOT be answered accurately without more information.

Static “street” display in a museum?
Daily driver/commuter?
Occasional street driver to the drive-in, parades or car games?
Fast driver to run at weekend drags and driven to work on weekdays?
Built to flip for quick cash.
Budget concerns?
Stock OEM heads?
Modified heads?
Driver driving style and habits.
How much hp can you be satisfied with.
