Default finaly puting money towards 5.0

after having a lot of unwanted expenses, im going to finaly start focousing on gettin this stang running again... main bearings bad, i think.... but anyways, i was going to aim for 400rwhp non aspirated... but then thought that it would be cheaper and easier to just buy a new block, and just use stock heads, maybe some machine work, if any.... already got trick flow intake,...... thing is, i want it to be able to handle 150 shot of nos, guess 30lb injectors would be a needed as well... any other thoughts?.... figured i could buy a block for around $1,000, but i also seen the 331 block for like 1600, but would be pointless i guess unless i got some afr's or somethin huh...

well thing is, after i get engine running... i need a trans 2 months after that... so i am going to buy heads .. say 6 months after motor runs.... and i did not mean i was goin for 400hp anymore, because im not goin for na hp... im goin for hp off the bottle.... with a new block and bolt ons and stock heads with tf intake, i should see a good 350hp tho... my only fear is .. how long could an engine last on 150 shot....
