Bang for the Buck Thread

Lets say you have a bone stock Junkyard 360 Magnum in good shape.

You already have a good intake, Headers, mild cam, and carburetor Budgeted for.

You have 3000$ To spend to make as much additional streetable power you can.


Annnnnd go...... Im leaning towards 408 stroker kit myself. Curious what others would reccomend bang for the buck wise.
You will have at least $1500 in machine shop, if you build a stroker, so $3000 is spent. Do a stock rebuild on shortblock and good rod bolts then buy the best heads you can afford, then get a camshaft to match. You will still be over your budget.
