    Mike, I think you will have all this behind you when you get "past" where you work now. I had high aspirations when I was a teenager/early twenties too. Other priorities come up soon enough. Before you know it, you will be thirty and I hope you have a better job or position too.

    To fix the damage you have done to your car, paint, chassis prep and the drivetrain you are requesting you are gonna be chasing 15k pretty quick.

    I know a 408w, gasket matched twisted wedge heads/victor Jr. intake, TFS III cam, 750 cfm carb and a manual will net you around 430 horse on 10.5.1 compression. There is much better heads and cam etc. out there but the above will run you the 4-5k for parts and machining on the low side to start.

    Then all the damage to your car, the paint, the suspension you speak of, the cage, the subframes, the trans, the electronics,a matching set of tires, the rear end to keep up with the power.... Well like I said, you will find that priorities will come first.

    Fix the appearance of the car, subframe damage, refresh your current engine, or put a stronger 351 with some tweaks in it and enjoy it for awhile.

          My 383w has run a best of 11.01 on motor (6.9 1/8) and has squeaked into the 9's on a 200 shot. Runs on pump gas and can be driven anywhere.

                  Something called Torque.

                  And they're 4k-7k

                          still suffer low end torque, not to mention being dogs n/a.

                          They run good once you get them spinning.

                          I want Somethimg nasty n/a.

                          Dont want a power adder. Maybe some nitrous though.

                            Fast, easy and cheap

                            306-308 with forged pistons and rods
                            AFR 185 heads
                            Nice intake
                            Nitrous

                            You can re-use everything you already have and it wont break the bank
                            But it will also not make 500rwhp N/A

                            There is no point on making a bad ass N/A motor if you plan to have a power adder so you got to decide which route you want to take first

                              Don't knock the "power adder." They are your friend. or at least mine
