Ok I will bite. Budget? End goal? I know you said street use but seriously? Do you want something with 300hp or something with 500hp? Also I know a very good engine builder in WA that is excellent with Magnum motors. He has went 11.59 in a clubcad Dakota with bone stock short block and heads. There are varying grades of parts from fully forged to cast. We need to know exactly what you want it to be when finished. No sense building it only reach it's limits and then have to buy things twice and tear it back apart or start over. I don't know everything but I can help steer in the right direction and if I don't know I can get the answer.
Corey, he asked about kits, not cams.... not heads, not about 1/4 drag racing and your buddy with a magnum...which again, another something he didnt ask about.
Anyone whos really in this game 'not just writing checks to builders' knows there isnt a kit out there with less than 9 something to one pistons... which even then can be used to make 10.5 comp.
lets try not to jump too far ahead.
I also didn't mention heads or cams. And I never said he should write a check to a builder. I gave suggestions and asked for more info on his end goal. But I will keep my opinion to myself from now on. You guys keep building whatever it is you build. And I will keep any new info from this site.
Have the block Sonic checked first, worth every cent.Do you have a performance goal in mind? What is your total budget?
