Just he complete motor, also are we talking getting a block and building it or just getting a crate motor from gm. What's the pros vs cons I should conseder?
By the way you guys are a great help, saving money in the end will be doing it once and not finding out I should have purchased something better for my personal use of what I want out of the motor.

Well, I don't know if you are talking about a 540, but that's what I was talking about.
Here is a good start.

Crate motor from builder comes with warranty. (pro)
You build it yourself you save money (pro) but no warranty (con).
You could also do a short block 502 or a long block and finish it yourself since you have skills and tools it sounds like.
