Somebody show me a link to the rockers shafts that a budget builder would use. I want a hydraulic cam. I don't want to be adjusting valves, I do know that.
I guess I need a 390 short block but not assembled. I want to do that part. (I think) If I don't get weak kneed.

You can have a lot of fun with a 390, even with cast iron heads.
If I were doing a budget build, I would just use a set of factory non-adjustable or adjustable rocker arms, slide some end stands on them, put in rocker studs instead of bolts, and let her eat.
My vote would be for you to find a complete 390 core, then do the whole tear-down yourself, find a good machinist, then do the assembly.
