What would you build to get 450-550rwhp in a small block?? On a budget??

Just to give you an example of what you might be looking at if you did an all motor build. I have a 406 smallblock that made 565 hp on an engine dyno and this is with the A/F ratio kinda low at 11.4:1 (dont ask me why we didn't lean it out, I don't know)
Here's the list of internals
400 block bored .030 over 4 bolt splayed caps
Callies Dragonslayer crank
Manley h-beam rods
wiseco pistons
cloyes double roller timing chain
268/274@.050 630/643 lift
AFR 210 Eliminator competition ported heads
T&D shaft rocker system
Super vic intake
Holley 830cfm carb
comp pushrods
and a list of nick nacks
It ended up costing nearly $11,000 including paying the engine builder. He also had to do some extra machine work and charged us more.

Yeah I know he can cut down alil bit compared to my build but he can figure out on his own what he would want to cut out. He can get a cheaper crank for starters, sportsman rods and some speed-pro pistons. He could use a regular rocker system and a girdle( The T&D cost us 1100 bucks)
