Damn, I spent around $1300 at the machine shop...and that was just bore, hone, deck, and line honing....oh, and shaving a little off the piston tops. I think you should look around on here, Moparts, and anywhere else for an abandonded project motor that already has the machine work done. You could probably find a complete fresh short block for a little under $1000.

+1 Good suggestion. Take the time to search for a good deal. OR..... Just do a nice Stock Rebuild with a mild Cam for now. The Hardest Part is Honing the Cylinders and figuring what size Bearings to get. I'm not an expert but have done dozens of Stock rebuilds on various motors(In My younger Days). It's not really too hard and Easier on the budget. If you really want to eat 350's & 327's for lunch, It's gonna cost Ya' ....Good luck.
