See, this is exactly what I was thinking. I am by no means a professional engine builder! haha I've done a few from time to time though. I usually pretty much just take all the parts to the engine builder and he makes me a short block. This way i can pick my parts and get them at the cheapest prices possible, and I'm very good at finding cheaper from site to site! I budgeted my build with all brand new parts from summit and jegs around $5800 without any machining. That was a forged 331 with victor jr heads. Researched and got the price down to around 5,000 for all the same parts, but I'm sure there are things I forgot.
How about
www.proformanceunlimited.com/ford.html? Their 420hp turn key 351w is really looking pretty good right now!
