Default 402 motor build....

I know this is a question asked a lot. I would like to get some input on 402 build for my car. My car is cuurently a daily driver but will become a garage queen shortly after the build. My budget would be $6500-7000 at most for this build. I would like to see between 500-540 rwhp. I would prefer an aluminum block. Here are my questions:

1) Is this possible with my budget for a complete build for a 02 ws6?
2) I would like some suggestion/ideas for a build?
3) Who would be a good company to build this for me?

I already have moser-12 rear, semi-built t56, QTP headers w/ borla exhaust, spec stage 3+ clutch and flywheel. Current motor is stock w/83000 miles.

Thanks for any help,

Cody

We can help you out with your build, we offer HKE Precision racing engines.
My guess is your looking for a long block at that budget, not a problem we can accommodate you on that. I'll put a few things together and pm you with it.

be careful of what kind of "deal" you get when you have already listed your $$ and your requirements..................................

Blanco has always been reputable here.
