Cheap used engines

Tim, Hot Rod Magazine did a series of Junkyard Jewel articles. The one they did about the 351W would be right up your alley. I have seen other articles in Car Craft magazine. If I were you I would look For some GT40P heads and put them on a 351W and just change the cam and put on a good intake. The heads will add compression and improve airflow.If you can't find any send me a PM. I know where to get new BARE heads at a good price. Just don't go too big on the cam.

There are a lot of good deals to be found in junkyards. I acquired 5 FE motors for no more than an average of $30.00 each. Three blocks are good standard bore, one is bored .040 over and one will need sleeving. Along the way it has given me a lot of info and all the brakets I will ever need for an FE motor. Knowing me I may wake up tomorrow and just buy the first from SA.

Something a lot of guys on these websites hate to admit is the fact that CS wanted to use Chevy engines in the first place, they turned him down because they didn't want him competing against the Vettes, an error on their part in hindsight. I do know of a Unigue SC 427 with a Chevy 427 powerplant that seems to outrun many FE motors though, funny how that works.
