Ask your machine shop to build you a 393W using the Scat stroker crank, Eagle rods, and K&B #364 pistons. You should get a short block well within your budget that will give up a few cubes, but last a lot longer. Add a Comp, Crane, or Crower retrofit hydraulic roller, and aftermarket aluminum heads with slightly larger intakes (2.05 - 2.08), and stock location exhaust ports (so your headers fit) should make you a happy camper.
I'd love to do a build up of a 427W using an SVO block (4.125 x 4.00), and Cleveland heads, but not for any $2500.
