budget build 360

i agree with strokerscamp except that the cost of the kb piston kit (rings included) is like $350. that shouldnt break the budget. but dont get me wrong, a nice set of heads is probably the number 1 upgrade if you can afford it. they are the biggest bottleneck on most stock engines. plus the lower weight benefit, the better cooling, allows higher comp, better flow... so juicy. they are the best upgrade if you can afford it.

it would be nice if he could get a decent set of used alum heads donated or seriously discounted by someone here who has upgraded to hemi or big block or something and has an old set of aluminum small block heads sitting on a shelf collecting dust :D
