You could get a short block from HPE for 2,599 you will have about that in having yours done.

It is $1000 more to go with a 408 over a stock cubed LS1. You will end up spending that $1000 trying to get the power levels you want out of the LS1. HPE is the way to go though, they do all their machining and building in house, as opposed to some other shops who send their stuff out.
