2k is not that much at all. i would look for some used 243 heads and then a cam of your choice with springs and pr's. then a ls6 intake.

Ohhh yeah, Im trolling for used heads, I am buying a new cam and lifters.. I already have a used ls6 intake.. with a ported TB, I actually have 2 of them.. Im building 2 cars at the same time.. a 1966 GTO and a 1976 Trans am..

I can go higher than 2k, but Im trying to do a budget build.. I have done the big builds.. but this time Im going low budget.

A really good set of heads and valve springs will cost you about 2k alone.

send in ur 317 to TSP for there porting service. with new springs and mill.
ls2 head gaskets, new bolts,pr's.
udp,ls2 chain, gm hot cam,new lifters. ls6 intake headers and tune.
cant get no more budget than that and still make decent power.

Yeah, Im going to troll the classifieds and get some used ported heads for 1100 or so, and the cam lifter and pushrods are around another 700.. Than a gasket kt 200 with some ARP's another 100.. I have long tubes and an LS6 intake with a ported TB. Im not racing this thing.. Im dropping my t56 on it and run it in my 1976 Trans Am.
