if you want it done right the first time, rule #1 is that the cheapest way ain't gonna be the best way to buy a motor.
you are dealing with used parts top and bottom end. freshened or not, they have still seen whatever rpm how many times. that is service life that is already beaten out of the hard parts.
there is also the issue that you don't have a single part on the car that can withstand or hook the kind of power the top end of that motor is capable of producing.
keep it simple, 350HO, performerRPM or similar intake, 750DP carb, and a good fuel pump. it is strong, reliable, and easily capable of putting your car into the 12's. when the time comes to go a bit faster, the answer is a quick cam swap away.
