If you use used parts, you can do a engine for less. But, if I put in $3.5K+ for the block, I'm going to do the rest of the engine right and that means new parts. Nothing wrong with a budget build, but I keep my objectives in line. Like I said (George's website is a good place to look, but you can do one on your own), do a detailed estimate and you will see the parts add up. You back of the envelope calcs leave out a lot of stuff, even with the $3K.
