Default short block

Just for sh#ts and giggles how much would it cost to strengthen our stock blocks to handle 600 horses. And I mean everything included from labor to parts and all that mess. Also what would be the best parts to go with.

I know you can get a complete built block (w/ forged internals good for 800+ wheel horsepower) for about 3 grand. You can get the bottom end parts for your car for under 2 grand. then you have to figure parts which varies. I know there are many sites offereing blocks/bottom end parts etc. You will just have to search...
