This is what im allowing my self to spend on those parts.. lol. No more than $8000 (hopefully) on just the motor. This aint including exhaust and such... but that is for another day. Lets get basics out of the way.
The blower/turbo is what is going to kick me in the nuts though. This is what i really am worried about affording.
But now i need suggestions.. someone experienced to lead me in a good direction.

Boost means look into a fully prepped block, 4 bolt billet main caps. 4340 Forged Crank, H beams and a good 2618 forged piston.
I'd run a set of aftermarket heads like a TFS or AFR just for the thick decks and bigger chambers.... I just did a 355 turbo motor with a 76cc AFR head and a flat top piston, worked out perfect.

I was looking for a place that had good stuff for the LT1 and this is the best i have found yet...

Basicly they will get me what i need.Im thinking $1700 will cover what you listed (for rotating assebly) pretty easily.
Also... with me looking to push 15 psi of boost... what should i be looking for FI wise?
and i was looking at these heads... opinions?
