2 books. Ome to mind in whi h it is in my opinion a must have for a new guy building engines. First, "How to rebuild my small block Mopar" followed by, "How to hot rod my small block Mopar" will show you how to do what you want to do.

IMO, 2K might not be enough.

Also, Max HP may not be what you want unless you car is equipped with a high gear ratio and will use a high stall. Converter.

Things like high compression pistons and large cam shafts. One into play for high HP engines and contribute to less street-ability. Your also limited by a stock cylinder head.
5000 would not be enough for max effort reliable teener...
