BBC 650hp combo ?
Look in Engine Masters at their Big Block Shootout. They made a 454 with basically off the shelf parts and Crane cam and made around 600-650. They used OEM crank and rods IIRC.

Are you looking for a race only setup?
My little 468 works good. It's just a 2 bolt main with a mild cam and runs well down in the 9's (granted my car works good). It's not too complicated, the heads/intake are ported on but not matched. Only exotic things really is that it's on alcohol and has a vacuum pump.

Thanks for the input guys really appreciate it. what I'm looking for is a race motor but not a wild one I want something I can drive for little time to get me to our local weekend gathering which is 5 minuets from home
What I'm thinking about now is 496 stroker with top end kit and solid lifter cam, with the possibility of using nitrous
Any ideas ?

What's your idea of budget? Right now my short block is about $4K:
502 block - 750
Eagle 4.25 Crank - 500
Crower 6.385 Rods - 290
Ross Pistons/Rings - 1000 (no hook - up
)
Bret Solid Roller 4/7 Swap - 490
Bearings - 150 approx.
Assembly & Balance - 800
Timing Set - 65
If you stick with a OEM RA and off the shelf cam you can save a lot of coin cause you can pick up a complete junkyard motor for around $400 or less.

A 496 setup wouldn't be bad. Ohio Crankshaft has a nice deal on a 496 rotating assembly, if/when I build the spare block I have it'll probably be a 496 (I'm posting this because I don't think any sponsors offer the kit).
My dad has a 540 and I've considered one for my car as well but the motor in it just works so well.
For $300 this winter I'll have a cam built specific to my car. I know a guy that went from high 5.80's in the 1/8 to low 5.60's just by having a cam built to the car. I also know someone with a 3300 pound 66 Chevelle that had a 502 that wasn't too outrageous and had the cam built to the car and it ran 6.1X's on the back bumper. Seems like money well spent to me.

I don't know about the caddy 502 and the possibility of me getting one is zero because they don't exist were I live.
for the budget thing honestly I didn't plan my budget yet I just want to see first how others did with their motors so I can get a general idea then I'll decide my plan
I can get a complete BBC even for free here because they are every where and some people can't stand their fuel consumption so they get rid of them
