Recommended engine?

I wanna do something bigger than a 360.

I wanna do a lot of things. None of which are possible due to finances. You can either gamble the $4K on something that will cost you more to operate; or find a used engine that you can hear run and buyy that; or give you hard earned cash to a shop that can take the 360 you have, rebuild it properly, and hand it back to you making the power you want. I'm not sure Brian could fit that budget - but I'd rather give him that opportunity, and let him see what he can do. Then you're face to face, he knows what your limitations are, and you can trust he will do his best (which is pretty damn good).
