Another option to consider is to contact a local machine shop. Talk to them tell them what you want up front and they will build what you want. That is what I did stopped by from time to time seen the block being bored and decked. Picked my top end kit( I went with a Eldelbrock kit). Picked my sheet metal and water pump. Painted it and took it to them. They assembeled and called me when it was done. Got to watch the break in then the dyno pulls. 383 stroker a little over 400 HP 460+ torque with a new Fi tech 600hp with force fuel dyno'd all new parts except block $5500.00. Me seeing exactly what kind of shape the block was in and picking the internals was a blast.
