I agree. I'd also wait until the block is checked before ordering anything. This will save you time, money and aggrevation if the block needs to be bored. If the block needs a overbore you can find a cheap set of slugs pretty easy. Everyone is right...the FE is about double on parts vs a SBC. But if you shop smart you can catch some deals. Mad Dog racing and the likes sell pretty cheap part lots on ebay sometimes. PAW is another fairly inexpensive source for parts and kits. NAPA online can give you some prices to compare also.
