Was it agostino that has been having a bad rep lately regarding ripping customers off? I hate to pass something on while not fully knowing the story myself but i am pretty sure that they have had numerous complaints from a few of our board members. If this is not correct then i appoligize ahead of time as i know words like this can damage a rep.

Seriously - you get what you pay for. $3K is the going rate for a quality buildup. Forged Mahle pistons, Compstar rings, etc.
Good luck.

Freaky, wernt you gonna spring for a 402/408? What happened to that? If not, maybe you might look into an iron block 402 for a measly grand more. It would be hard to pass up if it were me. With that f14 cam it would probably have stock like street manners, but still lope a good bit. You could last for a little while on stock heads with tons of room for improvement later on...

I know it's tempting to go with the 402 but I only have about $5000 to play with

Just make sure you get it built to take what you want to do with it. I've had way too many built motor's come here blown because they pushed them past what they were made for. The theory of you get what you pay for is good to an extent.Some places charge way too much.
