I didn't realize those questions were directed to me. I think that budget-wise, Matt has to answer those questions. To me $70 for a cam and lifter kit and less than $50 for springs, retainers and locks is inexpensive. Same goes for a pair of used Vortecs and centerbolt vc's, used intake and carb. As far as the rest of the build, that would be the case regardless of what engine combo he used. A 400 plus cid engine is capable of breaking every part of a stock drivetrain and I think that all of us were commenting with the assumption that he would have to upgrade the rest. He could've started with suspension, or the rear end etc. but he chose to start with the engine so that's what we've been talking about.
