check out the variety of Ford Racing Performance Parts crate engines, for the kind of money you plan on spending, you can get a brand new engine in any of several configurations and HP output. http://www.fordracingparts.com/crateengine/main.asp
Summit is one of many retailers that can supply you with one of them.
