Julian:
If your budget is in USD, 50K from ERA will get you a turn-key with a 428 from one of the high end manufacturers. The only draw back there is the wait (a year plus) but you have one he!! of a machine that you can truly drive away.
Too many other options out there to mention.
Advice: Look at the different manufacturer's links and web sites and do searches on the forum for the issues that would concern you. Don't cast anything in stone until you've done your research. Things, you and the world change rapidly and serious though can result in changes to your "final" choice up to the last minute.
My ERA has been on order since last June and is due (with any luck) by this June or July. In the past 7 months I've come up with 3 major changes and 8 minor from my original order and, while I'm pretty sure I'm "there" it won't surprise me a bit if there are more. One of the advantages of the long wait is the chance to look at the want vs need things in the build and make any changes before the project is started resulting in a truely personal car which, in a great part, is what the "build" part is all about.
