Yup powerbond for cheap. But I would call ATI directly. They hooked me up in a blem 10% underdrive for a fbody for $225 shipped. I still haven't found the "blem".

I ended up ordering PRC heads and a powerbond pulley from Texas speed, this build has already doubled from my initial estimate so saving a few bucks keeps the wife off my back.

I got the engine built up minus heads and installed my racetronics pump and Hotwire kit, that was a pain. I plan on installing the engine tomorrow morning, hopefully all goes smooth. Here's the engine in its current state.

LS3 top end if your are on a budget.
Catherdral top end if you plan on spending +$2000 on heads.

If I was spending 2k plus on heads, it'd still be LS3 heads. Mast at that

Well it's up and running, I have about 200 miles on it so far. It fired right up and runs pretty strong, I'm loving the torque bump already and it's far from tuned. I'm hoping to be able to tune it next weekend. Thanks to everyone that helped me out here!

Here's a few pics of it all built up and clean again.
