Default 351 boosted or 347 stroker cost differance?

After some reaserch I was wondering from peoples experiance what would be cheaper. I am wanting to build a street car. Either a 400 hp 347 stroker or a 351 or 357 stroker supercharged/turbo setup. Thing is after going over the prices on a well built 347 I am seeing that I might be able to just get a 351 block and rebuild it for boost (low compression of course) for the same or lower price. Thing is I was want ing some pointers or some people with experiance in this kind of a build. I figured I might as well do a 357 also. Its more or less the same componates as buildin a 347 for boost just a stronger block. The more info the better guys. Budget is 10k

you can do about whatever you want with 10 grand to throw at it. A turbo 357 would be sick.

With just a t-trim or something like that you could make probably more than 800 horse.

throw your budget out the window with a boosted project, key is to build it right to last not cheap, cheap will cost twice as much as building it right once
