well if you can find a local engine rebuilding shop, they can build you a nice 347 for a little over 3,000. (by they way if done right it will put out about 400hp)

Your engine can handle 6 psi. that will put you past 350 HP. I Always
was told build or buy you a motor only if needed, buy parts to compliment
the motor and then some. Once you break, you'll have what you need for
the next motor.

The wisest thing to do with 2-3k is too save up a couple more grand. Pateince goes a long way in building a car.

you said that you dont want any bolt-ons, right? are you planing on s/c this car with out aftermarket intake, exhaust, manifolds, etc??? if your going to get 300 plus whp you also need to think about suspention. its a cause and affect deal, you CAN through 400 rwhp in a car and spin the tire all day long, but i dont think thats what your after.

whoever said, before this post, "patients is the best thing" or something like that, is right. you have do your basics before you go for the big thing.
