For the prices you're talking, you might also check with the sales ads here on LatG or even buying a core.

I have a 4.8 bored into a 5.7L that was built for road race boost that cost me 9800$. With a trans and harness/ECM you'd be in the same ball park. Especially if you're not long full tilt, like my block was.

A block with full ARP studding and forged pistons with balanced OEM crank and rods is good to close to 1000hp, and would have the cylinders and rocker issues fixed. Ported heads with stainless valves would still keep you under 9k for the assembled block. New in box trans can be had for 2500$. Then you just have to get mounts, exhaust, wiring and intake snorkel/MAF
