Your best bet is to contact an engine builder. They can discuss with you what you plan on using the motor for, the car it's going in, budget, drivability, etc... I'm sure there are a number of sponsors on here who would be more than willing to help you out

Wow, good luck with a $3500 budget. You'll definitely need to use cheap stuff like Eagle crank and rods.

Bro, you can get a 408 forged bottom end from texas-speed for around that much money. I dont know if the heads you have now will fit it though

Personally, I'd recommend getting in touch with Texas Speed if you're just looking for a rotating assembly. Or, if you're looking to get a shortblock built, I'd definitely call up LME. Both are sponsors on here, with lots of happy customers.

Yeah, you're looking at $800-$1000 or even more in machine work alone to machine the block and get your rotating assembly balanced and assembled.

We can set you up with a stroker kit in your price range, no problem ! Pistons matched to your heads balanced with bearings.
