buy new stock short block for $500
Trick Flow TwistedWedge top kit ( heads cam intake the works ) $2,200
have someone assymble it for you $500
Total ............ apx. $3,500 give you about 350hp engine.
Where can I buy a new stock short block for that price? I'd order one tonight if you can get me a link or a phone number.

dart 347 will handle in excess of 1000 hp with a poweradder.
and without a poweradder it can make 400-500hp.
they come with AFR heads
but they are pricey, around $8000

I've been looking at the 347's from CHP they are pretty reasonable at around $2500 for a shortblock but I am thinking of going for a dart block and that bumps the price up quite a bit. I know the long blocks come with AFR's but they were around the $6k mark from what I've seen, I think I'd go with the shortblock and bolt the AFR's on seperate, or if I go with a dart I'll but the 347 kit and have it built instead.

citymotorsupply.com they have pretty cheap long, and short blocks. I got my 351 from there and it runs fine. I think i walked out with a reman. short block, and all gaskets for like $500. I dont know if they can ship, but give it a shot
