for 3600 i would buy a built shortblock and have a shop throw the heads and cams off your motor onto that. no effing way should you spend 3600$ on a stock longblock.
if you want a cheaper avenue, just buy a used motor. theres a ton of 4.6's laying around for a few hundred bucks at junkyards and craigslist and such.

hell even if you buy an MMR block you can buy a set of used heads and cams from a PI gt for a few hundred bucks... total cost doing it that way is still less than 3600.
