i didnt want to get ahead of myself but i think thats what im starting to do. i guess i should explain what i want to do. i dont have the engine yet but i could easily get one from the junk yard. i want to build a 350 with anywere form 300 to 350 hp. it seems like like i need to get any machine work needed done before i can buy any parts.i will have a grand to get this started i was planing to use that money to get some of the more expensive stuff like heads out of the way but i think most of that money is gonna have to go into machine work before anything else this is my first build so any help would be appreciated.
