but I do see a 351-W getting in in the budget......with the 351-W,assuming you bought a complete junk yard engine, you would re-use the block/crank/rods and most likely the distributor and pulleys/brackets,this will save a bunch of money...depending on the level of work you can preform, you could even re-use the heads if you wanted to take the time to port/polish them and get them in the condition you would need to make your target 400hp,it can be done..........your biggest expense will be heads/intake/pistons/gaskets/carb and boring the block.....can done in your budget and get your 400 hp..........
same for a 302 based engine but with less hp......
with a stroker motor, your looking at an additional $1,500.00+ for the rotating assy. over a 302 or 351, that will kill your $4,500.00 budget.....
You need to sit down and put it all on paper, get a Jegs or Summit catalog and start pricing the items you need,you will be surprised at how quickly it adds up....
